a car bomb exploded at the central market at the blood on thursday morning killing seventeen and injuring more than one hundred sixty. reports on how people there are still coming to terms with what happened. 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 a thursday when a suicide bomber drove his silver car to its entrance gates he was said to be come during a routine check of the car but reluctant to open the trunk but a security guard muslim big player insisted. he put the key in the trunk turned it maybe once or twice the key broken his hand a slim big had the man turned around and moved away from the crowded entrance a minute later a powerful explosion shook the area. 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 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's 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 one. candles commemorate the day in which he got because people here are mourning 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 and the brooch in the entrance a powerful explosion went off my ears were down right away honestly i didn't understand it was an act of terror or anything like that and then i looked down and i saw 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 one son that she and 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 there's nothing was moving in.

to some time with his talented moving when i was at the rate 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 course itself she still needs some time to get back to normal life. penetrator logic of cause is far deeper than this shell hole left by that deadly car blast as days parcival 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. are what you got. and the bombing there north of syria was followed by a string of successful anti terror operations in the caucasus region in the most recent one which happened just about an hour ago at least eight militants have been killed in another volatile russian republic of dagestan the gunmen were besieged in

one of the houses in the republic's capital. they refused to surrender and opened fire on the police the operation is reportedly going on right now in the number of militants involved might be higher earlier on sunday the head of the north caucasus special investigative department was killed in the city. and many experts say militants in the north caucuses are a part of an international network political scientist dr weil says the bombing in north is no different from any other suicide bombing anywhere in the world this attack suicide attack in the northern caucuses is not just a local act back by a local terrorist we've seen this before it has a history at pax by. linked to al qaida worldwide inside russia in dagestan and chechnya in this part of the caucasus as we see around the world whatever you have suicide bombers you see also that threat against international democracy and freedom. that was political scientist dr weil and far as and the

ninth anniversary of the deadliest terror attack in history has been marked this weekend almost three thousand people were killed on september eleventh in new york but nine years on the number of victims is still growing artie's marina porter spoke to some first responders who say their health was ruined at ground zero but the government failed to help. gary white was an american hero in two thousand and one to 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 cost enormous all coma gall bladder cancer and 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 and leaving the twenty three year veteran with mounting medical debt this form wants fourteen over fifty three and a daily dose of. medications inflammation pills pills to stop the cramping in my legs like walk blood pressure medications the worst top 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 ninety years 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 i leave ryan is just one of many widows who lost

their 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 the fight to stay alive and it's a fight that can break even the strongest. john jeff was diagnosed with throat 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 leading by example here when you turn your backs on the nine eleven emergency responders those who sacrificed for the country now left struggling along . party. well it seems that several incidents are showing islam sentiment came to the forefront on the anniversary of the september eleventh attacks

a man set fire to pages of the koran near ground zero to similar incidents are said to have happened in the state of tennessee and it follows a threat by a florida pastor a. holy book on the nine eleven anniversary although that was later called off there were also fresh protests against plans to build a mosque close to the site of the tragedy while supporters of the project also valued nearby muslim american activists. ramadan says that since nine eleven islam has been misconstrued in the u.s. . really with what this shows and 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 we're signing collective guilt on the one billion muslims on the acts of . villains that basically defiled islam and practiced a perverted version of islam for a political agenda and 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. week's terror attack in russia is north caucuses and the nine eleven anniversary have heated up debate on whether it's possible to stop international terrorism and how and of course we're always interested in your opinion on the topics we cover you can have your say at our website or t. dot com. we're asking what's the best way to eradicate international terrorist networks so far the majority of voters think ensuring high living standards for all may be a solution twenty seven percent support a reversal of globalization another fifteen percent of viewers are quite radical as they are simply in favor of banning all religions and getting rid of fanatics thirteen percent of you are saying that there is no way to prevent the problem at all while a minority want more security forces are to dot com is the place for you to cast your vote. a gathering of some of the finest minds from around the world has put

the russian city of firmly on the map this week it played host to the global policy forum a brainstorming session bringing together statesmen and strategists investors and innovators. has been following it for us. yeah and what you are in effect solver and democracy as it turns out is different things to different state was the title for many years sloppy standard somewhat crissy and efficiency made it sound a little rain even for the crimea to talk to. some of them the chance to hit the president we're all having around. us and 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 its young its image sure 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 video we've seen many examples of that then

you talk of democracy in russia is a moot point if you didn't treat dozens who organize itself. the president 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 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 i like to say 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 discussions here many of 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 before it was him definitely spies stuff but it was a formal session of them over there for two days this study and 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 it's the democrat party from. although a new european security framework will take years of discussion reforming the current structure is vital so says professor credit calhoun from new york university 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 you very much so in my view the discussion has to continue possibly for years before there is a resolution of 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. professor craig calhoun from new york university there speaking at

the global policy for. a faulty plane but fearless pilots there was a miraculous escape this week for a packed a russian passenger jet when it crash landed in the middle of a forest in the country's northwest all eighty one people on board survived after a midair electrical failure artie's tom barton has the story. 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 that passengers thankful to be in line and we see the full story we're learning and the estimates and any doubt these accounts emergency crews arrived to try to wait everything was one has to start with the fleet was not for the professionalism of there were true we would not 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 plane lost all automatic navigation and communication

its fuel supply and wing flaps were crippled meaning i had to run quickly and it fired the normal speeds even the lights in the cabin and cockpit when tapped by sight a lot of the pilots found abandoned their strip in the depths of the forest and managed to land on a good attempt. by plane was designed to land on a concrete airstrip 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 going to get them 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 as a form a pilot and actually train the heroes in question he says he's very proud of his form across a chance. 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 interviews with the crew and witnesses black box recordings and evidence at the site that question what caused such a massive electrical failure or a widening that was fifty four is not quite the brand new aircraft and i'm sure that was manufactured probably at least twenty years ago when you with more. i believe there is a chance and that we plant was just our. airlines which owns the plane says it wasn't aware of any issues before takeoff but added it would never fly again investigators are focusing on mechanical failure rather than pilot error or weather conditions but everyone is expecting the playlets to receive medals their achievement. 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 ozzy osbourne. you can find more on that amazing landing and other stories we've been covering at our website r t v dot com let's take a look at what's online right now. the true cost of luxury see how poachers searching for one of the most precious foods in the world black caviar are pushing the sturgeon species to the brink of extinction. plus russian inventors have found a way to prevent drivers from falling asleep at the wheel find out what it is and how it works. a former u.s. soldier has found himself at the center of a scandal after posting a controversial video on you tube. of iraqis of checkpoints

filming the reaction of drivers all of this was supposed to be a prank. which is perhaps. the time. of confusion. on his. but we had a you know under the cause there are our it was just one of those being worried you know what 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 through us it's not funny but it's very scary. just we're used to for being so you know users research 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 night and day it's not uncommon to have your heart taped at least a dozen times a day if you're found to have illegal weapons what you will see the city of britain they will be arrested on the stuff and terrorism. and some american military personnel are not seeing the funny side of sergeant dunces antics i would not tolerate that in my organization. i don't think that's conducive to gaining. you know into the partnership with with the federal police or certainly and trusting their confidence in us or the people for that matter and trusting the. trusting in the federal police but i want to please a local t.v. stations now picked up on the idea. that it takes well known local celebrities to

iraqi checkpoint and plays pranks on them in much the same way as dunson and his colleagues produce a national will by he says it's a way to lighten the situation. we have in libya we're not making fun of the iraqi forces are very brave in fact and we wanted to present them in an hour you can differ with we also wanted to present this is something people can laugh about even if. 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. and with people still being killed in iraq if we day there is a constant reminder that terrorism is no laughing matter so. r.t. back to. this week serbia decided not to challenge kosovo's unilateral declaration of independence and the united nations under pressure from the european union

belgrade finally agreed to withdraw its initial draft resolution which had called on the secession of course a vote to be denounced a concession consensus resolution was unanimously adopted by the un general assembly although belgrade does not recognize kosovo's independence as a legitimate agreed to talk direct talks with a course of ours on all unresolved matters this concession followed a push from the e.u. making it clear that serbia's wish to join the union it would be jeopardized if it failed to soften its stance on kosovo political writer john starr calls it a new u.n. resolution and an unconditional surrender by syria to you. be present turk that i have seen and i have here is not really a compromise i would call it an unconditional surrender to the european union this is not a compromise because for my. and i've understood the european union did not. get in exchange for this they gave nothing as usual and i'll just be asking for more. here

syria is now really very much in the position of france underpaid it's not quite an occupied country but it's surrounded and it's sort of occupied and any leader or politics party which would really openly take into consideration serbia's interests is condemned by the western media as nationalists look what they have look we have and have always lived question rita which the united city use in order to get rid of milosevic but when he showed that he was still interested in his country's welfare he's known brand as an extreme nationalist and sidelined. still ahead for the next hour dangerous and on the run the famous russian martial artist who became an ultra nationalist criminal in an asylum but i managed to escape. it's reckoned to be the most

important meeting of north korea's workers party in decades but no one outside of the country knows whether it's actually taken place yet the world has been watching and waiting as analysts believe kim jong il would use the meeting to present his youngest son as his successor a veil of secrets secrecy still in shrouds the gathering but r.t. has shed some light on another mystery of the reclusive states willing dynasty. the second leader of north korea and the son of its president officially kim jung il was born in nineteen forty two in japanese occupied korea according to north korean history books his birth was followed by the appearance of two rainbows and 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 known as some the current leader of north korea both used to live here in our village. but this is a dance several dozen miles away from the city of cut off in russia's far east back

in the main hundred forty s. it was the home of the joint cheney's korean guerrilla regiment fighting against japan before north korea was established as a state its fusion leader. also used to serve you as a captain of the red army and i thought he could he 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 kim il sung fled to the soviet union after his guerrilla team was crushed by japanese authorities in nine hundred forty five years later the second world war brought its results japan was defeated to send to pyongyang to sit sort. come and dance working there so if you didn't leave vance care for around five years it's only you was born somewhere else still this is allegedly the last of the hell swear both leaders of north korea

used to live there also used to be terrorists here and the rumor is kim il song used to enjoy drinking scenes during warm summer evenings on this terrace discussing the ideas of communism with his comrades while little kim young was running about playing and you know why. there's only fuel to the mystery around communes group says 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 be in russia's far east we'll be back with the headlines in just a few moments stay with us.
