7:05 am
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 a 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 that day with his entire family it said he was quarreling with his brother bought right in 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

7:08 am
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 a 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. this year's commemoration of the nine eleven victims has been marred by a series of incidents in the united states near the side of the terror attacks in new york a man said like two pages of the koran he didn't comment on his actions on the score from the area by police later he reportedly said that he was protecting freedom of speech to pastors in the state of tennessee are also said ray said my copies of the muslim holy book this comes after a florida clergyman the threaten to burn the koran on the nine eleven anniversary but called off his plans after requests from officials attention has also flared in new york over plans to build a mosque and islamic community center just blocks from the side of the world trade center around a thousand people gathered near ground zero to support the construction while several hundred demonstrators opposed to it rallied nearby the project was part

heated debate in the us divided nation. meanwhile many of those who gave emergency help after the tragic events of september eleventh are feeling abandoned first aiders say the u.s. government left them struggling by themselves after their health was ruined that ground zero. met some of. gary white was an american hero in two thousand and one did you actually get diagnosed as being directly sits in the middle of 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 carcinoma saw 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 is massive. 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 still fits 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 year 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 world with husband post nine eleven all these men and women that are fighting

for their life right now it's the progress it's it's time it's watching a loved one. disintegrate in front of your face and just try to stay alive and it's a fight that can break loose. john jeff was diagnosed with cancer hospital bills one million dollars we do 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 . r.t. new york. ramadan was also a first aid worker at the site where the twin towers fell a muslim activist she says islam has been misunderstood in the u.s.
7:13 am
and american muslims shouldn't be scapegoats for the actions of terrorists. really what 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 here islam because they don't understand that the beauty of this country is the constitution and that all americans despite faith despite race are afforded the same civil liberties this week russia's jaroslav all made news around the world the city which is now a thousand years old brought together some of the finest minds for
7:14 am
a global policy forum. was at the center of it all and gives us a firsthand account. young much you are ineffective solver and democracy as it turns out is different things to different states the title of these here is for many you're a slob a 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 all of them. to go to church 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 for video we've seen many examples of that but when you talk of democracy in russia is a moot point if the country doesn't more denies itself the key message the
7:15 am
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 . the what we need to create an institution that will bring together nato and non nato members and other structures my 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 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
7:16 am
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 michonne is that it didn't seem to mind these helen prime minister for one simple definitely spies stuff but it was a formal session room over there for two days this steady and 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 it's doing
7:17 am
a great show for our team from. this week serbia decided not to challenge kosovo's independence at the united nations belgrade has previously drafted a resolution which questioned the secession but softened it following pressure from the european union a section where belgrade called it kosovo unilateral declaration of independence unacceptable was removed from the document the modified version was unanimously adopted by the un general assembly serbia does it not recognize kosovo but the new resolution could pave the way. since the region unilaterally declared independence of two thousand and eight the e.u. has urged serbia to withdraw its draft and focus instead on prospects for union and membership but anti-war website columnist and their voice believes that serbia has much to lose from the new deal. and. in practice it stands to gain absolutely nothing it stands to lose everything. the resolution was changed so that the e.u.
7:18 am
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 that 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 the 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
7:19 am
their birthright and of their entire country and then it's who knows how they will react. a former u.s. soldier who had served in iraq has found himself at the center of a scandal after posting a controversial video on you tube sergeant dunson was discharged after planting grenades in the cars of iraqis at checkpoints filming the reaction of drivers as a prank but as our reports most iraqis saw nothing funny in his actions. point. which is perhaps why sergeant and his partner pass the time and jokes on unsuspecting drivers in the. car a few of confusion explained and the very relieved driver is sent on his way. but we had to you know because. our our it was just one of those things where you know it happened. on
7:20 am
a guy like up 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 pour a bomb so it's you know uses the search is 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 often the difference between life and death it's not uncommon to have your heart take a piece a dozen times a day if you're found to have either way what you will see will see a great name you'll be arrested on the spot and terrorism. 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 and
7:21 am
trusting 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 that claims to have witnessed american soldiers displaying even more alarming behavior. and i personally know of many cases where soldiers would take offense and for example hates an iraqi citizen just for fun there were cases where people died from the 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 i want to a local t.v. stations you know picked up on the idea. that it takes well known local celebrities to iraq each. points and plays pranks on them in much the same way as dunson and his colleagues but you said by a says it's
7:22 am
a way to lighten the situation. we're not making fun of the iraqi forces they're very brave and frightened but we wanted to present them in and we can different way we also wanted to present weapons is something people can laugh about even if. there's mixed reaction to be of actually 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 if we day it was a constant reminder that terrorism is no laughing matter. r.t. back to. a our 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 it emerged that the weapons were part of a consignment of almost sixty that had gone missing almost a year ago and had not been reported it's been suggested the convoy delivering the
7:23 am
guns to u.k. troops was ambushed or that they were illegally sold u.k. defensive sources describe the incident as a terrible embarrassment for british forces and tony benn an anti-war activist and former british m.p. says the facts are difficult to establish. the truth is the first casualty in war when you go to war truth ceases 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 so for try to improve their own independence 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 undoubtedly we are not doing very well in afghanistan and i think the afghans are entitled to their independence. i take the view that britain should withdraw from afghanistan i think the voted now house of commons this week is a very important one because it's the first opportunity that the house of commons has
7:24 am
had to have a vote on whether we should be in afghanistan or not and if there was a substantial vote against the war then it would alter the whole argument about british policy so i naturally i hope there is a big vote against the war in the house of commons this week saw a miraculous escape for a plane as it crash landed in the middle of a forest in northwest of russia an investigation is looking into how the pilots managed to touch down on an abandoned 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 a thankful to be in line will see the postal willingly every street and ended up in the woods emergency crews arrived to find two week everything was organized very fast this time the sleep was not for the professionalism of the crew we would not
7:25 am
be standing here over 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 rough strip and decided to land there but during the maneuver by miracle we caught a glimpse of a concrete strip and although 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 rich can is a former pilot and actually trained the heroes in question he says he's very proud
7:26 am
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 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 manifest. probably it was twenty years ago when you with more. i believe there is a chance that they could we plant was just war are. now russia 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
7:27 am
medals there achieved. in time the technical details of this plane's malfunction will join all of the others maybe ation history but one thing will always stand out courage and resourcefulness of the two men who brought it safely to tamasin r.t. . this week north korea was expected to hold its biggest workers' party gathering for decades analysts suggested the country's leader kim jong il would use the meeting to present his youngest son as his successor so far a veil of secrecy in shrouds the gathering but r.t. has really revealed another mystery of the reclusive state's ruling dynasty. the second leader of north korea and the son of its president officially kim jung il was born in one thousand forty 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 not many north koreans may know about this as they all came also
7:28 am
many as some the current leader of north korea both used to live here in our village. this is a vast scale several dozen miles away from the city of karbala in russia's far east back in a minute 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 future leader kim il some 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 had some left leaving three or four women pregnant female soon fled to the soviet union after years guerilla team was crushed by japanese authorities in nine hundred forty five years later the second world war brought its results japan was defeated was sent to pyongyang to sit com and dance working there
7:29 am
so if you didn't events careful around five years it's unlikely came young you was born somewhere else 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 here still enjoy drinking theme during warm summer evenings on this terrace discussing the ideas of communism with his comrades while little kim jung il was running about playing and you know why. there's only fuel to the mystery around kim jung il his group has lots of proof that kimmel son lived in doubts 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 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 to the skin of our t. the.
