first. russia's southern republican north of the seventeen victims of the marketplace car bombing meets those who survived the attack and lost their loved ones of violence. as more than a thousand demonstrators trashing the home of

a string of nine eleven times to build a mosque at ground zero we look at one a growing number of americans are going to spawn it claims that the media tell them it's muslims. how to make a democracy work and how to make the world a safer place power brokers from all over the world try to find the answers that local police and russian city yes novel. also playing with knives a video of a u.s. soldier on two maids in the cause of peace is causing outrage that some locals died as a result of such. a remarkable crash landing and move west and russia as a plane touches down in a forest with eighty one. i'm put on its pages.

that you're watching r.t. and this is a weekly news review russia's southern republican here is reading off to one of its deadliest terror attacks again is a car bomb that ripped through the central market in the capital danny kaftans on thursday killed seventeen people and injured more than one hundred sixty. six on the trove of reports on how the city is trying to return to normal life. cries louder than sirens but no fear just the time eleven twenty four on the watches of those who perished in the central market in logic of cause it was an sos day when a suicide bomber drove his silver car to its entrance gates he was said to become during a routine check of the car but reluctant to open the trunk but a security guard aslan big clear insisted. he put the key in the trunk lock turned

it maybe once or twice the key broken his hands iceland big had the man turned to go around and move away from the crowded entrance a minute later a powerful explosion shook the area as lone big heard the cries and rushed to the scene. i saw a lot of cars blown to pieces and a lot of bodies i had no real fear i just felt sorry for the people who died or got injured especially a young mother with her child i saw them just before the explosion a young girl was coming in with a kid a little kid as soon as she got inside the blasts happened. a little known went to the market the day with his entire family it said he was quarreling with his brother bob riding their bike so his grandmother promised to buy him a new one but a moment later they were killed by the blast so. i went inside but they stayed at the entrance suddenly there was an explosion i lost one of my children and my

mother my wife and another kid are in hospital there were many people there it was scary no we'll know and his grandmother yes i'm on lie side by side the government is closed they have so the survivors stricken by the loss. 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. candles commemorate the day in which he got because people here mourn their loved ones and have been given blood to help the injured for tania who has arrived in the form of a new born son but before the birth she too had to leave through the tragedy. to the market to prove. a powerful explosion went off my ears were down right away honestly i didn't understand it was a negative tear or anything like that. so people covered by blonde and they

run right away i was afraid of a second blast. too scared for the last hope to get to be born son to t.n. i didn't notice that she herself was injured and it was not the piece of metal in her knee that was on her mind. and i was afraid that nothing was moving inside me then up to some time when he started moving when i was afraid it home the one taken care of and baby sleeping beside her that jenna now was occupied by the beginning of the little one as with logic of cause itself she still needs some time to get back to normal life this penetrating logic of cars is far deeper than this shell hole left by that deadly car blast as days parts people slowly start mending their lives for sun like the newborn baby it could be a bridge to a new life but for many this horrible attack will be engraved on their hearts

forever. our chief. political scientist dr weil the virus there is that the bombing in the very worst part of a global terrorist war against democracy. 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 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 we'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 in

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. well in the united states protesters for and against a mosque at ground zero have clashed in new york on the anniversary of the september eleventh terror attacks the tension flared over plans to build a place of worship and it was then that community center just blocks from the soccer trade center dancing with. several hundred demonstrators close to it rather than a boy the project has sparked heated debate in the u.s. and also to thousands of americans make the choice to convert to islam each year. that's a. little over. 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 right converted to live here 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 betraying 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 our 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 i was fourteen when september eleventh happened so i didn't really know what was going on if that really was you know people thought it was so i believe just like

everybody else but as billings got older she decided to find out for herself and her investigation led her to the mistah a center a mosque just outside of washington d.c. that has become a haven for many americans like billings who have found a new poll found that almost forty percent of americans believe that muslims should . carry identification card despite that twenty thousand americans every year decide to convert to islam be a convert say they don't regret their decision at all it's a choice that they must think about every day around the world since nine eleven muslims have battled bands of their religious clothing profiling in airports and discrimination in their everyday lives after joining a class to learn more about islam carl dodge also decided to become a muslim one of the big jokes that i've always made is before i actually sat down the class and opened my career on everything i knew about islam i had learned from c.n.n. and when it comes to the mainstream media the depiction of converts can be somewhat

extreme that pakistani officials have arrested adam gadahn this is the american born spokesman for al qaeda fox's work first there was john walker lindh the californian who converted joined the taliban and then did up fighting with them in afghanistan and then more recently it was jihad jane the blond haired blue eyed convert who allegedly recruited people to wage violent jihad and for many american muslims like dodge and billings the portrayal of converts is disturbing if those upset me a little bit because there's a lot of preconceptions people have been until i actually took the time to open a koran and see what was written you know that was my only impression of islam is what i had seen on t.v. and in the united states they say a culture of islamophobia just doesn't make sense it's a right to practice your religion that's what this country was founded on just had somebody asked me the other day is also are you against america now and it's like

ok. i'm a u.s. veteran as well i served in the u.s. navy and so i do believe in this country no matter what unfolds around her billing says she's proud to be a muslim if no one in the world wants to talk to me and my friend i still regret the happiness that might not make sense to those around her. to reassure either party annandale virginia. this week russia made around the world a city which is now a thousand years old brought together some of the finest minds for global policy for the country the trover was at the center of it all gives us a firsthand account. young which you are in fact if solver and democracy as it turns out is different things to different states the title of these here is for many years slavic standard democracy and efficiency made it sound a little rain even for the kremlin toughest critics gave some of them the chance to

hit the president. 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 but any talk of democracy in russia is a moot point if the country doesn't more denies itself the key message the president was sending in his speech another major topic was security russia's been promoting a new vision for european security architecture that it says is vital to avoiding military conflicts similar to that in the south caucasus in two thousand and eight . that what we need to create an institution that will bring together nato and non nato members and other structures where 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 the eye without the creation of the system the world will not be able to survive we can help each other here is one of the first who supported the idea of the new european. security treaty was italian premier corny but before he could make his point he had to find his words i like to see that i was not very well informed about the topics to be discussed at this forum the section of my administration which has prepared the speech has prepared the room that's why i'm passing the stacks to the moderator of this portion of the plenary meeting this presentation doesn't correspond to the discussion here many that evening criticize the us corny for taking more stage time than the host but mitchum it that it didn't seem to mind these hellion prime

minister performance definitely spiced up but it was a formal session. for two days this stadium turned into a lib or a tree where some of the world's best minds attempted to find a formula balancing three elements democracy modernization and efficiency did they come up with a single formula of course they didn't but what they agreed upon is no matter what the proportion if a country wants to move forward it needs all three elements in the mix exiting the church of r.t.e. from. russia's president has called on the us to step up efforts to create new security institutions that could incorporate existing military and political structures professor craig calhoun from new york university says a new european security framework will take years of discussion but that reform in the current structure is vital. 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. around erupted this week over british weapons used by the taliban in afghanistan american soldiers in the country's helmand province recovered two u.k. made machine guns following a battle with militants emerged that the weapons were part of a consignment of almost sixteen and gone missing from this two years ago and it's been reported it's been suggested that convoy that bring the guns to take control ambushed they were immediately sold u.k.

defense sources only instant temple forces returned. to the former british m.p. says the facts are difficult to establish for certain. the truth is the first casualty when you go to war truth to be a factor in the thinking of anybody they just want to win the war and so i wouldn't surprise me if we haven't been told the truth about. afghanistan. and dependence against an occupying power and in those circumstances they will do all they can and the occupying powers will do all they can to win the war. we are not doing very well in afghanistan and i think the afghans are entitled to their independence and i take it from afghanistan i think the vocal this week is a very important one because it's the first opportunity that the house of commons has had to have a. whether we should be in afghanistan or not if there was

a substantial vote against the war then it would alter the whole argument about problems so i naturally. there is a big vote against the war in the house of commons. a u.s. soldier serving in iraq has been at the center of a scandal after posting a controversial clip on you tube sergeant dunson planted grenades in the columns of iraq as a check points and filmed the reaction of drivers as a prank but as artie's reports most who are can see nothing funny in his actions. manning a checkpoint all day must get boring which is perhaps why sergeant dunson and his partner admit they passed the time playing jokes on unsuspecting drivers in this you tube posting dunson describes how they planted a grenade in an iraqi man's car a few seconds of confusion always explained and the perplexed but very relieved driver is same time his way. you know because.

our our it was just one of those things where you know what happened. on the guy i like. but for most iraqis this is not fun and life here is very far from being a joke. i think it's only through them to laugh for us it's not funny but very scary. we're used to car bombs explosions and searches happening every day but if someone did this to me i would be so scared. as would most people in a country where a checkpoint can often mean the difference between life and death it's not uncommon to have your heart take at least a dozen times a day if you found that people with what you will see the city of britain they will be arrested on the stuff and. harrison. and some american military personnel are not seeing the funny side of sergeant dunces antics i would not tolerate that and my organization. i don't think that's conducive to gaining. you know into the

partnership with with the federal police or certainly entrusting their confidence in us or the people for that matter and trusting the. trusting in the federal police up to fight him out but that army has never been pranked himself but claims to have witnessed american soldiers displaying even more alarming behavior on africa i personally know of many cases where soldiers would take a bit and for example hates an iraqi citizen just for fun there were cases where people died from this so-called sun we had about one hundred fifty thousand american soldiers here and although some were professional there were many who were not. but ironically a local t.v. stations picked up on the idea. that it takes well known local celebrities to iraqi checkpoints and plays pranks on them in much the same way as dunson and his

colleagues producer. says it's a way to lighten the situation. we're not making fun of the iraqi forces are very brave and frightened but we wanted to present them in a unique and different way we also wanted to present weapons is something people can laugh about. there's mixed reaction to the iraqi show but still iraqis making fun of iraqis is very different according to most people here to americans getting in on the act and with people still being killed in iraq every day there is a constant reminder that terrorism is no laughing matter. r.t. . this week serbia decided not to challenge kosovo's independence at the united nations belgrade had previously drafted a resolution which question the secession but softened it following pressure from the european union a section whereby a grade a quarter course of the natural declaration of independence unacceptable

was removed from the document the modified version was unanimously adopted by the un general assembly serbia does not recognize course of a new resolution could pave the way you are probably going to. exhaust a region that declared independence in two thousand and eight when you had to withdraw its draft and focus instead on prospects for union membership but antiwar website columnist. with the names of serbia has much to lose from the. in practice it stands to gain absolutely nothing it stands to lose everything. the resolution was changed so that the e.u. would be less angry with serbia but what brussels is still demanding is pretty much an unconditional surrender a full abdication of state sovereignty or any sort of independent foreign policy i think there will be a colossal backlash against the government among the people there will definitely be some some significant changes coming down the pike i believe so honestly because

the current government by by doing this has exhausted any sort of credibility any sort of claim to be defending a country has completely obliterated its electoral promises of fighting for kosovo and refusing to recognize it because the resolution as it reads right now is an implicit recognition of the session has alienated its strongest allies in the world from russia to china and brazil and other countries and has done all this to basically score points with the e.u. and the e.u. itself doesn't really recognize this and will continue to apply pressure and humiliate the country and it's at this point just a matter of time before the people realize that they've been completely robbed of their birthright and of their entire country and then it's to knows how they will react now this week a saw a miraculous escape for a plane as it crash landed in the middle of a forest in the northwest of russia and investigation is looking into how the pilots managed to touch down on

a burned landing strip and what really happened on board. 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 the passengers are thankful to be a line we see even the most willingly every street and ended up in the woods emergency crews arrived via two week everything was organized very fast the flip me off not for the professionalism of the crew we would not be standing here. the tupolev one five four always 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 land 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 a miracle we caught a glimpse of a concrete strip and all the shorter it would be much safer despite overshooting and plowing through two hundred metres of woodland before stopping all eighty one people on board were evacuated to safety right in the ridge can is a former pilot and actually trained the heroes in question he says he's very proud of his form across the jays. up in the close they couldn't even tell their altitude or where they were they only had enough fuel for ten minutes of flight and 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. it was twenty years ago when you with more. i believe there is a chance of that we plant was just war our. 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 one thing will always stand out courage and resourcefulness of the two men who brought it safely to thomasin party. two years ago this week the u.s. government pledged its financial support to the mortgage giants fannie mae and freddie mac. the companies are now seen as a major contributors to america's national debt to find out whether people think

the bank that was worth it were half missed also known as the resident in the streets of new york. it's been two years since mortgage finance giants fannie mae and freddie mac. received millions of dollars from the u.s. government they continue to report losses and receive funds how do you feel about taxpayer dollars continuing to support them this week let's talk about bad your white collar criminals. we shouldn't continue to give them money then probably no. no what do we do. we help each other it's hard to say if they've helped you because it's hard to tell whether. what the result would have been if we didn't do anything at all so i think in terms of my business i think that some of the bailouts have been very successful for maintaining business in the in the role of the century the velocity of cash in them in. but i think in the long run wolf we'll find out we

have to keep the housing market going i think there is such a giving the housing market going if we didn't support them anymore it would collapse do you think either be a lot harder a lot more difficult than it might collapse i mean it's struggling hard enough as it is right now so why are people so against it do you think i think there's just a general anger against government and they're taking it out on anybody who they can take it out on some rich company that's ok they have the power capitalism and democracy sort of into this is they use or too much and too much power over the democratic process is it ever going to change not in my lifetime. so far into this might as well give them money save everybody else doesn't matter that at this point it's aster anyway i mean you know where eighty billion dollar ninety billion with them they made money on a deal so freddie and fannie try and get out of it as best as possible the bottom line is the u.s. government is probably going to keep.
