but they're broadcasting live from the heart of moscow and this is our weekly news review russia's southern republican of north a sect here is reeling off to one of its deadliest terror attacks in years a car bomb that ripped through the central market in the capital of any kind of cars on thursday killed seventeen people and injured more than one hundred sixty. reports on how the city is trying to return to normal. 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 course it was and so is 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 as long 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 the car around and moved away from the crowded entrance a minute later a powerful explosion shook the area as long 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 blast happened. little went to the market that day with his entire family it said he was quarreling with his brother bought 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 the hearts of 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 and hands and this is the woman who died. candles commemorate the dead in what 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 newborn son but before the birth she too had to leave through the tragedy. i was glued to the market and the brooch in the entrance a powerful explosion went off my ears were down right away honestly i didn't understand it was a negative terror 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. 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 the general now is occupied will begin a name for 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 life but for many this horrible attack will be engraved on their hearts forever. are from what you've got us. political scientists talk to one of

these that the bombing in a very careful 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 after all 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 a history at the acts 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 this year's commemoration of the nine eleven victims has been marred by a series of incidents in the united states the site of the terror attacks. because of the khobar comment on a school day way from my produce that he was what he said he was protecting freedom of speech to pastoring state of tennessee satellite copies of the book this comes after a florida clergyman threatened to burn the koran on the night of the first three but called off his plans of requests from officials. attentional so fled have a chance to build a mosque there is that community center just blocks from the start of the terror attacks around a thousand people gathered there ground zero to support the construction well

several hundred demonstrators opposed to it right now by the project has sparked a debate in the us dividing the nation but despite the animosity thousands of americans make the choice to convert to each new experience for them it's a. lot. 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 greg converted to watch 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 fought 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. 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 are 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 villains got older she decided to find out for herself and her investigation led her to the mistah office center a mosque just outside of washington d.c. that has become a haven for many americans like billings who have found allah a new poll found that almost forty percent of americans believe that muslims should carry identification cards 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 our 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 set down the class an open microphone 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. i'm to open up around and see what was written you know that was my only impression of

islam as 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 rights of property. 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 mean you know 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 saw. the happiness that might not make sense to those around her. to reassure either party annandale virginia. this week russia's heiress lovell made news around the world the city which is now a thousand years old brought together some of the finest minds for the noble policy

for ortiz after the group was at the center of it all and gives us a firsthand account. young much you are ineffective sovereign democracy as it turns out is different things to different states the title of these here is for many years slavic stand at some democracy and efficiency made it sound a little rain even for the crime your toughest critics gave some of them the chance to hit the presidents were often enough to get it skinny 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 for video 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 and 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 would we need to create an institution that will bring together nato and non nato members and other structures my us 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 one of the first posts of course of 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 ministration interest prepared the speech has prepared the room that's why i am passing the stacks to the moderator of this portion of the plenary meeting this presentation doesn't correspond to the discussion here many of that evening criticize the us corny for taking more stage time than the host but michonne is very it didn't seem to mind these helen prime minister performance definitely spies stuff but it was a formal session. for two days this stadium turned into a war of 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 exceeding the grouch of the r t from. the us soldier serving in iraq has been at the

center of a scandal after posting a controversial video on you tube sergeant dunson planted grenades in the cars of iraq as a truck points and filmed the reaction of drivers as a prank but as a tease reports most iraqis 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 the future posting dunson describes how they planted a grenade in an iraqi man's car a few seconds of confusion all's explained and the perplexed but very relieved driver is sent on his way. but we had a you know caught. our our it was just one of those things where you know it happened. on a guy like that on but for most iraqis this is not fun and life here is very far

from being a joke. i think it's only for 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 good to have your heart take at least a dozen times a day if you have illegal weapons what you will see the city of britain they will be arrested on this and terrorism. and some american military personnel are not seeing the funny side of sergeant dunstan's 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 but that army has never been pranked himself but claims to have witnessed american soldiers displaying even more alarming behavior. i personally know of many cases where soldiers would take a bet and for example hey it's an iraqi citizen just a phone there were cases where people died from this so-called son 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. producer. says it's a way to lighten the situation. we're not making fun of the iraqi forces are

very brave but we wanted to present them in a unique and different way we also want to. do 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 american act and with people still being killed in iraq if we day it was a constant reminder that terrorism is no laughing matter. r.t. back to. this week serbia decided not to challenge kosovo's independence at the united nations belgrade had previously drafted the resolution which question the succession but softened it following pressure from the european union a section where belgrade called the cost of that short 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 about but a new resolution could pave the way for the first new republic of serbia since the

region declared independence in two thousand and eight the e.u. had urged her to withdraw its draft and focus instead on prospects for union membership but war website columnist abortion which believes certainly has not really lose from the new deal. 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 would serbia brussels assault demanding is pretty much an unconditional surrender a full abdication of state sovereignty or any sort of a. dependent 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 who knows how they will react. well this week a saw a miraculous escape for a plane as it crash landed in the middle of a forest in northwest russia and list again looking into how the pilots managed to touch down on an abandoned landing strip what really happened on board. the heroes of the tiger these are the men that managed to land a crippled jetliner in the middle of the forest and not injure

a soul the passengers a frankfurt to be in line was even closer we learned everything else streets and ended up in the woods emergency crews arrived to find two week everything was on has to the constant this time the fleet week was not for the professionalism of the crew we would not be standing here. particular 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 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 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 james brown up in the clothes they couldn't even tell their altitude or where they were he 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 interview. with the crew and witnesses black box recordings and evidence at the site that question what caused such a massive electrical failure providing that double what fifty four is not quite the brand you have to craft and i'm sure that aircraft was manufactured probably at least twenty years ago when you were more. i believe there is a chance that they could 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 pilots 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 earth tamasin r.t. possible. this week north korea was expected to hold its biggest workers' party gathering for decades and this to suggest to the country's leader kim jong il wouldn't use the meeting to present his youngest son as his successor so far veil of secrecy in shrouds the gathering but r.t. has revealed another mystery of reclusive states who industry. is the second leader of north korea and the son of its president officially kim jung il was born in one

thousand nine hundred two in japanese occupied korea according to north korean history books his birth was followed by the appearance of two rainbows in a new story in the heavens but there's a different story man many north koreans may know about this as they all came also known as sam the current leader of north korea both used to live here in our village. this is very scary several dozen miles away from the city of kut us in russia's far east bank human nine hundred forty s. it was the home of a joint chaney's korean guerilla regiment fighting against japan before north korea was established as a state its fusion leader kim il sung also used to serve year as a captain of the red army and i thought he could be called was born and spent his whole life in the arts can. i remember this camp we want allowed to go there but chinese and korean soldiers were free to walk anywhere they wanted some of them even got married here and some left leaving three or four women pregnant female

soon fled to the soviet union after his guerrilla team was crushed by japanese authorities in one nine hundred forty five years later the second world war brought its results japan was defeated soon sent to pyongyang to see soviet comic dance working there so if you didn't events care for around five years it's unlikely came young you was born somewhere else it's this is allegedly what's left of the hell swear both future leaders of north korea used to live there also used to be a terrorist here and the rumor is that kim il song used to enjoy drinking tea during warm summer evenings on this terrace discussing the ideas of communism with his comrades while little kim jung il was running about playing you know why. there's only fuel to the mystery around kim young you looking for there's lots of proof that kamal son lived in the outskirts however we couldn't find official confirmation that community was born there not even from the f.s.b. this information is still

a secret back and yet this small cemetery is the last resting place of the korean and chinese soldiers who died while serving in the regiment taking the truth with them you go if you're going to leave or to be. in russia's far east. two years ago this week the u.s. government pledged its financial support its giants fannie mae and freddie mac. the companies are now. dead. was worth it lori halfassed also known as the resident of 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 us 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. 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 velocity of cash in them in. but i think in the long run we'll find out we have to keep the housing market going i think there is such a keeping the housing market going if we didn't support them any more it would collapse you think either be a lot harder a lot more difficult and 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.
