two thousand and one in new york but nine years later the number of victims is still growing artie's marina horton i spoke to some of the first responders who say their health was ruined at ground zero and the government has failed to lend a hand. gary white was an american hero in two thousand and one did you actually get diagnosed as being directly since the nine eleven in two thousand and ten the nine eleven first responder represents an exploding health crisis u.s. officials have failed to address its holy across the page carcinoma saw a 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 was massive. i was paralyzed i lost command of my

speech. i had to learn to walk control again the police department denies these illnesses are linked to nine eleven so for leaving the twenty three year veteran with mounting medical debt this one wants fourteen over fifty and a daily dose of fifteen medications inflammation pills pills to stop the cramping in my legs so i can 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 nine years that have followed nine hundred first responders have died victims of their own courage and why p.t. 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 a horowitz husband post nine eleven who all these men and women that are fighting

for their life right now it's a progress it's it's time it's watching a loved one. disintegrate and 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'm 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 merino port r.t. new york. growing anti a muslim sentiment came to the fore on the anniversary of the september eleventh attacks a man set fire to pages of the koran your ground zero two similar incidents are said to have happened in the u.s. state of tennessee this follows a threat by

a florida pastor to burn islamic holy book on the nine eleven anniversary though he 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 rally there by muslim american activist who dino de ramadan says that since nine eleven islam has been misconstrued in the u.s. . really with what this shows in the most disturbing part about this debate is it's become in 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 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 it. this week's terror attack in russia's north caucasus and the nine

eleven anniversary have heated up debate on whether it's actually possible to stop international terrorism and how of course war is interested in your opinion on the topics we cover and you can log on and have your say at our web site r.t. dot com now we're asking what's the best way to eradicate international terror networks so far the majority of respondents think insuring high living standards for all is the best solution twenty seven percent support a reversal of globalization if such a thing is possible another fifteen percent of you are radical is they're in favor of simply banning all religions and getting rid of fanatics altogether thirteen percent or more pessimistic saying there's just no way to prevent the problem and a minority of respondents want more security forces have your say by logging on and clicking your way to r.t. dot com. a gathering of some of the finest minds from around the world has put the russian city of jaroslav all 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 artie's a catarina groucho was among them. so young what you are in effect if sovereign democracy as it turns out is different things to different states the title these here is for many us lobby standards democracy and efficiency made it sound alluring even for the kremlin's toughest critics gave some of them the chance to hit the presidents wrong now. he said listen i strongly disagree with those who say there's no democracy in russia and that there's authoritarian tendencies here it's not true that russia is a democracy beyond any doubt it's young it's immature it's still not perfect and experience but it's a democracy nonetheless there's a way to go but we're ready to work on it in some countries democracy is being imposed but it doesn't work that way and we've seen many examples of that but when you 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 . the muscles 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 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 have 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 discussion here many of that evening criticize that it was corny for taking more stage time than the host but mitchum it that it didn't seem to mind these hellion prime minister for months definitely spies stuff but it was a formal session of them over there 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 exceeding

the virtue of r t from. although a new european security framework will take years of discussion reforming the current structure is vital according to professor craig 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 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. commentary from craig calhoun professor of sociology at new york university speaking at the global policy forum.

a faulty plane but fearless pilots there was a miraculous escape this week for a packed russian passenger jet when it crash landed the middle of a forest in the country's northwest all people aboard survived after a midair electrical failure artie's tom barton has the details. the heroes of the taiga these are the men the managed to land a crippled jetliner in the middle of the forest and not injure a soul that passengers thankful to be a line we see it was willing to treat and ended up in the routes emergency crews arrived to find two weeks everything was organized very fast the fleet week was not for the professionalism of the crew we would not be standing here. the tupolev one five four was flying at ten thousand meters on its way to moscow from russia's far east when there was a massive electrical failure to plane lost all to mattick navigation and communication its fuel supply and wing flaps were crippled meaning i had to learn

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. 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 a 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 rather mirrored skin is a former pilot and actually trained the heroes in question he says he's very proud of his form across a j s. up in the clothes they couldn't even tell their how to cheat 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 task of 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 i do believe what fifty four is not quite the brand your craft and i'm sure that that craft was manufactured probably at least twenty years ago where you would more. i believe there is a chance that the gui plant was just worn. 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 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 but one thing will always stand out courage and resourcefulness of the two men who brought it safely to thomasin r.t.

possible. you can find more of that amazing escape and other stories we're covering at our website r.t. dot com here's a peek at what's on the line right now. the true cost of luxury see how poachers searching for one of the world's most precious foods black caviar are pushing the sturgeon species to the brink of extinction. plus russian inventors have found a way to keep drivers from falling asleep at the wheel find out what it is and how it works by logging on to to our. dot com. a former u.s. soldier 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 iraq ease at checkpoints and then filming the driver's

reactions this was all supposed to be a prank but as artie's posner find out iraqis aren't laughing manning a checkpoint all day must get boring which is perhaps why sergeant dunson and his partner they pass the time playing jokes on unsuspecting drivers in the 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 being worried you know what happened. on the guy like that. 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 research is happening every day but if someone

did this to me i would be so scared. as with 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 out you need to wear what you see here but maybe you'll be arrested on the up and terrorism. and some american military personnel are not seeing the funny side of sergeant done since antics i would not tolerate that in my organization. i don't think that's conducive to gaining. into the partnership with with the federal police or certainly interesting their confidence in us or the people for that matter and trusting the. trust in the federal police but i want to 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 produce and not by a says it's a way to lighten the situation. we're not making fun of the iraqi forces they 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 it was a constant reminder that terrorism is no laughing matter. back to this week serbia decided not to challenge kosovo's unilateral declaration of independence that the united nations under pressure from the european union belgrade finally agreed to withdraw its initial draft resolution which had told us

a session of kosovo to be denounced by consensus resolution was you. adam mostly adopted by the un general assembly although belgrade doesn't recognize kosovo's independence as illegitimate it agreed to hold the right of ours on a whole lot to resolve matters this concession followed a push from the you making it clear that serbia is wish to join the union would be jeopardized if it failed to soften its stance on kosovo political writer diana johnston says serbia has caved in to the. present text 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 was not a compromise because from what i've understood the european union did not. in exchange for this they gave nothing as usual and they'll just be asking for more as they have been for many years serbia is now really very much in the position of france. it's not quite an occupied country but it's surrounded and it's sort of

occupied and any leader or policy party which would really openly take into consideration serbia's interests is condemned by the western media as nationalists look within her look would have been to go is love to me it's a which the united states to use it or to get rid of milosevic but when he showed that he was still interested in his country's welfare he's been branded an extreme nationalist and sidelined. stay with us here on r t coming up in the next hour as the u.s. military presence on the japanese island of okinawa is prolonged the campaign against it gets stronger we find out what's being blamed on the american forces. it's reckoned to be the most important meeting of the north korean workers party in decades but no one outside the country knows whether it's actually taken place yet

the world's been watching and waiting as analysts believe leader kim jong il would use the meeting to present his youngest son kim jong un as his successor his successor a veil of secrecy still in shrouds the gathering but r.t. has shed light on another mystery of the reclusive state's ruling dynasty. is the second leader of north korea and the son of its new president officially kim jung il was born in one thousand nine hundred two in japanese occupied korea according to move the korean history books his birth was followed by the. new story in the heavens but there's a different story me north koreans may knew about this as they all came also many as some currently does north korea both used to leave. this is very scary several dozen miles away from the city of kut us in russia's far east back in a man nine hundred forty s. it was the home of a joint chaney's korean guerrilla 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 group team was crushed by japanese authorities in one thousand forty five years later the second world war brought its results japan was defeated soon sent to pyongyang to suit soviet common dance working there so if you didn't leave your aunt's care for 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 used to enjoy drinking theme during warm summer evenings on this terrace discussing the ideas of communism with his
