a global policy forum wrapped up in russia as the us level many guests day old must have celebrations as the city. in style. and coming to you today from russia's love where you can see the city's kremlin just behind us and we'll be bringing you all. the festivities for yellows levels millennium and also the results of the global policy forum that's just drawn to a close here but first to our top story today america will never forget the u.s. mourns the victims of the nine eleven attack many who gave first aid straight after those tragic events are feeling abandoned they say their own government is there from struggling by themselves with illnesses contracted as a result of the rescue operations. that some of them.

gary white was an american hero in two thousand and one did you actually get diagnosed as being directly six and in two thousand and ten the nine eleven first responder represents an exploding health crisis u.s. officials have failed to address its toll the across the page course an illness or coma gall bladder cancer liver cancer the retired n.y.p.d. detective spent six months sifting through world trade center debris and clouds of toxins later resulting in asthma sleep apnea post neurological problems and two strokes the first one to me as. i was paralyzed i lost command of my speech. i had to learn to walk and talk again the police department denies his illnesses are linked to nine eleven so for leaving the twenty three year veteran with mounting medical debt this one wants fourteen over fifty three and

a daily dose of fifteen medications and inflammation pills pills to stop the cramping in my legs like walk blood pressure medications the worst attack on u.s. soil took place here on september eleventh a day when nearly three thousand people lost their lives in a matter of hours and in the ninth hears that have followed nine hundred first responders have died victims of their own courage n.y.p.d. sergeant michael ryan was diagnosed with three types of cancers before losing his battle at just forty one years old eileen ryan is just one of many widows who lost her roic husband post nine eleven and all these men and women that are fighting for their life right now it's a progress it's it's time it's watching a loved one. disintegrate in front of your face and just the fight to

stay alive and it's a fight that can break even the strongest john. yes i was diagnosed with cancer hospital bills. reduce so much overseas and i am not saying not to do it we're a powerful nation we should lead by example but we're not leaving my example here. we're not leaving by example here when you turn your backs on the nine eleven emergency responders those who sacrificed for the country now left struggling alone marina port arthur new york. to redeem. those twice. when she was giving first aid to new york's world trade center on september eleventh two thousand and one a muslim american she knows is being used for political gain in the u.s. . really with this shows in the most disturbing part about this debate is it's become an us against them that is the most troubling aspect because we are all

americans again we're signing collective guilt on the one billion muslims that practice this faith on the acts of nineteen villains that basically defiled islam and practiced a perverted version of islam for a political agenda and now to assign blame on all muslims is completely incorrect and inaccurate but i think the great majority fear islam because they don't understand it they don't understand the faith they don't understand that islam is a religion of peace islam does not condone suicide islam does not condone murder and we have to make sure that we are not blurring the lines of the constitution and saying there are gray areas of the constitution that apply to muslim americans the beauty of this country is the constitution and that all americans despite faith despite race are afforded the same civil liberties.

moscow and washington are close to signing near agreements on fighting terror so says to us coordinator for counterterrorism daniel benjamin who also praised the level of cooperation between the two countries. dmitri protocol of president of the political center told r.t. that terrorism is no longer the number one problem for the international community as it was following nine eleven. i dk to me any decade is a good time to well to make some of the results and the thing is that today significant efforts of the international community and of the leading nations of the special services has actually saw the. war's progress of fighting terrorism terrorism is becoming number as five or six on the global agenda it's no longer the most though the core to stopping al-qaeda is slightly disappearing from the global

agenda i mean if you look at the number of terrorists that they're in the recent years that has diminished and i think a significant work has been down to over who in the grassroots also guy that there are still some foreign mercenaries in the food so they know the porpoises those people for but trading in their own kind of camps all over the world and somehow in afghanistan and some other countries. generally the nature of terrorism and other offices he's widely disliked the difference much has to be down to ensure that young people on the broad people are more recruited by the terrorist or by the terrorist network of course one of the most let's say positive outcomes is that the world has managed to prevent this bleed between the east that makes those nations the grisette civilization and the at their. new york in two thousand and

one they didn't lead to with the global a divide with the civilization. dimitri vice president of the political center in moscow talking to us a little earlier. civil liberties defenders across europe are expected to demonstrate against what they see as a big brother approach to surveillance by government and businesses they say security cameras and other monitoring devices are intruding on their private lives rather than protecting society. has been following the preparations for the demonstration in berlin. thousands of people here and berlin and throughout europe will be taking to the streets to demonstrate their slogan is freedom not fear and protesting against surveillance by governments and by businesses our position is to say that security and treat them walk hand in hand they don't post to each other

this sort of mass demonstration would have been inconceivable nearly twenty years ago but of course in two decades our technologies have advanced hugely now every single time you go on the internet your employer or your imput or provider can trace what websites you have been to every single time you walk on the streets you are being recorded by multiple c.c.t.v. cameras every single time you make a purchase this financial information gets logged to your bank and once again to the authorities what this requires is great the trust from the government but of course these people are saying you cannot trust the government specifically because once and for ration used to be kept by your national government now increasingly it was being collected in europe and two thousand and nine something called the stockholm program was implemented make no mistake about that this is a major change in the way that data is being collected about every citizen in the european union and sort of just being kept at a national level it's now all going to be gathered at these huge european wide

databases what these protesters want to know is why who's going to be accountable for how this information is used there's no chance. errancy about how this information is used so they're saying that the european union has no right to simply control all of its hundreds of millions of citizens of course there have been several problematic cases in germany itself a particularly egregious case of an employer spying on its own employees including the extremely private details such as the one likely to get pregnant and go on pregnancy leave and so on which was considered totally inappropriate particularly considering the history of germany the fact that it's based in part was part of an offer to terri energy with its own secret police that was notorious worldwide so what these people are saying that not only should we not rule out any further measures we should abandon the ones that we have got we should stop having nationwide and european wide databases where everybody goes to school where everybody travels where everybody is employed there asking for all of this information to be rolled back to be given back to the owners for the privacy to be

restored and if we want to live in a democracy we need to risk a little democracy means risk. needs risk of course the government is unlikely to agree with these demands they keep saying that this information has to be collected in order to fight terrorism in order to fight crime and as always they say that if you have done nothing wrong you have nothing to fear from the government. russia's republic of north asserter is paying last respects to victims of a deadly car blast that hit the capital lot of cars on thursday five more injured have just been taken to hospitals following the explosion seventeen people were killed in the attack and more than one hundred sixty wounded as details emerge investigators say several policeman could be guilty of negligence aboard say they stopped the attackers car for inspection before the explosion but didn't check the boat or his excellent to cut short reports from logic of course. logic of cause is

grieving over the last and you can feel sadness everywhere as soon as the market area has been open people started coming to the scene they are bringing flowers lighting candles they are talking to each other they are remembering what has happened and they are also trying to find out what happened with the people they know today funerals of eleven victims are taking place in logic of course this is the second day you're funerals here and several of the dead will be buried in georgia and ukraine through the whole night people have been praying in church is in logic of because they were lighting candles in one of the buildings people decided to do the same they just joined with their mourning and you could see how candles are lining up one by one from the fridge to the servants floor eleven people in severe condition or have been taken to moscow by the emergencies ministry i've met with the relatives of the victims and here is my report to lives hand in

hand interrupted at the moment when yes i'm on my man and her toddler grandson who were children at the ready got across central market they say the boy was quarrelling with his brother about riding their bike so grandma promised to buy a little new one a moment later their dreams were wiped out by the blast. we were at the markets i went into a shop as my mother wife in tucson stayed outside and then an explosion i rushed out and saw all four of them on the ground the last two. my son who died was one and a half years old my three year old son is now in surgery doctors are fighting for his life there were a lot of people in the market stare a fine last breath again yes in my head almost every morning before go into the market their day rafiq i felt sick and stayed home yes a man went alone just held grapes and never came back. this is a father and his one and a half year old son who died and this is his wife she was injured legs and hands

and this is the woman who died. twenty years ago when life in georgia became difficult for ethnic as a reason like many in her village quiet and hospitable yes a man packed his things and headed to the logic of cars her small family makes their leaving from selling fruit and vegetables and a year ago moved closer to the central market used to work closely to show other ones to the selling grapes another was selling women's there was a risk with them who hold it but she was badly injured it was ripped out of diabetes and they couldn't stop the blood. crying over the last many people and logic of course refused to believe the blast really happened the main question for many remains why. these are barbarians monsters not humans these people have neither nationality nor humanity nor decency i think it was deliberately planned to bring this tragedy to the republic this is the sixth time something like this has happened they choose big holidays to cause racial hatred

but they want to achieve it. grief and sorrow has united the people and logic of cause russians the citizens ukrainians and every is all bring flowers to the scene and donate blood to help the injured. the glass is cracking under the feet of those who come to the gates of the central market. echoes in the out just trace interrupted only by those cleaning and repair in the area people try to stay closer to each other as if this closeness can help them to live through the tragedy in the head of the federal security services reports that three people are detained more details emerge and this is what we know that one of the security guards at the entrance gates of the central market didn't lead the car go through he was inspecting the car something seemed weird probably and the driver had to turn the vehicle and just moments later the car exploded this resulted in

less people being injured during what he calls cars this is all information that we have so far the federal security services says that investigation is still going on . so today as you can see we're again coming to you from the russian city of us level where the second global policy forum has just wrapped up the event brought together some of the world's finest minds as. now reports. well the one thing is still to be seen what the outcome of these four will be but one thing is obvious it was a direct and honest and open dialogue between the president his supporters some of the kremlin's most fierce critics as well to them in particular the topic of this year's forum global policy forum many of us love it seemed the most teasing democracy and versified democracy experiences around the world but the forum was held on to the patronage show of the russian president himself and the message she

was sending by these seemed quite clear it's time to sit at the same table to stop just criticizing russia to start to communicate interact and to find global solutions now the three main things the top three words which were for the two days of the forum were modernization democracy and efficiency is a very easy things to understand on the one hand but on the other the challenge is how to achieve these goals and there seem to be no consistency about it and this is what the forum is about mitchum a bit of stake been has been that nothing is very straightforward these days and you can't really attach an experience of one country to another you have to look. at the countries very specific ways of moving forward the countries background the country's history as well the central topic of the forum democracy analysts disputed on what is democracy in the first place and whether it can be described

with any adjectives with any attributions the president made better has been saying that democracy is a process in the first place and that is just not a term and as for russia he reminded. his guests that about russia's very specific way of democratization he said that the nine hundred ninety s. instead of perspire attend liberty's which reformers promised to the people brought . poverty to the houses of money and this is where we control the sirat the word democracy in russia stems from but on the other hand he has said that the democratic institutions started to be formed in russia in the very nine hundred ninety s. and they've also been developing and he said that he personally believes at turning point in its history russia made the right choice. he said listen 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 any doubt it's young it's 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 democracy and modernizations are the only signposts possible for russia these were this was the message the president has been sending touring these forums but all the talk about democracy is a moot point to the country doesn't want denies itself the president believes that now with the time for civil society to help modernize the country because the state tried to do it all on its own in the past and this model didn't work. that was our correspondents on the ground so the forum is over but we have a lot more scheduled for you as you know us love is gearing up for a big party and as a matter of fact me and bill we can already hear the music and background we can indeed yes the events are getting underway and of course this weekend the city is
