seventeen people are now reported to be injured six police officers and eleven civilians there have been conflicting reports about the situation in chechnya like there were reports about suicide bomb ins near the parliament and this was denied later on bunda ministry over internal affairs there also were reports that one of the militants as caves and two cost edges and this was also denied and there were reports that one of the members of the palm and has been heard and we haven't received any information about this so far. today at eight forty five am militants made an attempt to get into the parliament building as usual their plans failed police stopped them all the militants were killed. the security measures in chechnya or on the border of the republic have been tightened and these militants are believed to belong to al qaida and they are believed to be connected

with the same group who has attacked the whole village of the chechen president runs on producer of earlier this autumn. what's on a little trouble reporting now a number of successful recent security operations in russia's self have revealed that militants links to al qaeda more details on that we can all cross live to our tally of over who is reporting for us in the moscow hello to you so tell me just how strong of a militant connections in the north caucasus with international terrorism. well it's too soon to say who is responsible for this a latest attack on the chechen parliamentary building but indeed the investigations into terrorist attacks that have been taking place in russia recently have shown that behind many of them stupid international terrorist organizations and experts say the terrorists from different countries are inside cooperation across the world . what is happening in russia particularly in northern caucasus what is happening in europe because we know that it was a red collar threat

a few weeks ago there well that makes us all think that this is sort of terrorism funded media in the world yeah and whether these are international whether this is national i think there is a global war both of them are already. in june this year the u.s. authorities have called google water for an international terrorist linking his activities with al qaida now in washer the man is the first on the list of wanted by the country security forces and the country's authorities as he was behind the two explosions that took place in moscow's not sure in march this year when two female suicide bombers exploded themselves killing forty people and leaving another eighty eight injured just several months after that another explosion took place in the city of partygoers two in a car that was parked on one of the streets of the city exploded injuring thirty people luckily no one died in that one just two months after that another suicide

bomber drove a car to the cars central markets. exploded himself in the car killing nineteen people and leaving t.v. hundred injured and many experts also link those two terrorist attacks to international terrorist groups also recently i'd actually be boarding was arrested in the moscow region the man was the surf spreading extremist blade to show my people he is the head of one of international terrorist groups that is based in turkey but seems to be operating in the moscow region so. he is known for training suicide bombers by hypnosis and of course a cases like that give you an idea of the scale of the presence of international terrorist groups in russia. right on through the problem over the reporting live in moscow thank you. well to discuss the role of international terrorist groups on russian soil we're now joined by eaglehawk laugh

a political analyst and co-author of the architecture of euro atlantic security good to see you sir so what does the recent attack on the government's handling of it say about the current situation in the caucasus do you think you know balls third rule and local authority has handled the situation pretty well. i have been studying the issue of local support for a couple of the kids and i have to say that russian security forces have never been as effective as the are now you know those knowledge on so nothing to do with national liberation it's very important to understand mostly those of people who are coming from all the countries from the central asian it's interesting that you say that because the speaker of the church in parliament he actually said the attack was organized from abroad what do you think about such claims going with that. turkey is a good nice strong broad is a terrorism is a global a kitchen like you know a globalized world is made of the mall's globalized detective it's here saw what i

would talk about of against terrorist activity in pakistan in kashmir in iraq in chief. but you see one global terrorist groups and they have to. think tanks that organize the whole the whole process is a very organized criminal activity ok so you mention iraq and afghanistan in this in this issue here but how does the ongoing instability in iraq and afghanistan affect the stability of the caucasus you know the situation is in afghanistan now is a pending disaster and afghanistan it's quite likely to fall under the rule of turnips and pakistan it's quite possible to follow his could have disastrous consequences not only for the region for against and pakistan itself but it could have full implications all over the world including north caucuses because those terrorist organizations that they see churching are here and other republics as the gateway into the bigger caucasus and fold expansion into europe so in this

context of the ongoing war in afghanistan and americans are likely to lose this war quite soon now could have disastrous consequences all over the world and what we've seen what we have seen today in grozny you secure it's actually one of the consequences of instability in the whole region are so you talk about instability and terrorism on a global scale let's continue to talk about the broader aspect here what other militant groups are we talking about in terms of international ties to cook asian terrorism. the most famous group is of course al qaida which has now spread its influence all over the world including iraq you know in saddam hussein period there was no all day in iraq you see saddam hussein was a tyrant himself he didn't need any competition but after americans invaded iraq al qaeda has taken food there and also there are other extremist movements even i give

more while and then i'll tell it was like this like movement of uzbekistan now of the. he's dead president karimov have. into afghanistan and afghanistan but they're likely to come back after the fall of preside over and it could have. serious implications for the whole world alright co-author of the architecture of your atlantic security and political analyst from is the future of world economy and international relations thank you very much. well i was talking right there and i will have more details and more analysis on this issue here as we continue to report on this act of terrorism going on in course new today now russia and europe appear to have moved closer than ever on to issues that previously divided them at a meeting they were talking about where they were in the french town of veal they discussed the issue of a european security and that of financial instability as well more details on that

to come a little bit later in the program now bear in mind that any issues any stories you miss here at r.t. you can always go to our website r.t. dot com for more now in other news israel is divided over a bill that requires non jewish citizens to swear allegiance to the jewish state apparently this is having problems with people saying that particularly the arabs they don't want to swear allegiance to the jewish state they're saying that the government says that loyalty oath is a key demand for an eventual peace deal with the arabs saying they won't pledge themselves to a country that is snatching at their holy land paula sleet reports. this photograph is all that remains from samir why these family home the house survived for generations that it couldn't survive an israeli demolition two years ago in the middle of the circle well i started to have problems with the circulars ten years ago they wanted to take all of my land they took one house and then they wanted to take this house since then he started rebuilding the only thing god the supreme

court has discovered their big documents and they changed the name of my grandfather on paper and. but the discovery didn't help him hang on to most of his grandfather's land not a family of israeli settlers now on his own property insists is his and his story only one of many. in the two hours we spend here therefore a wrist and the usual round of tear gas rubber bullets and blame and their biggest then you shouldn't complain about anything they should say thank you israel thank you that we are still here. and they'll be saying a lot more than that if the country's foreign minister avigdor lieberman gets his way he wants all one million arab israeli citizens to pledge loyalty to the jewish state the arab world if they want us to give concessions for peace if they want us

to give some sacrifices for peace they should start looking at us is a myth. state so lieberman has his supporters but he's also got his detractors arabs and many israeli jews are up in arms this country defines itself as a jewish and democratic state but if you ask just about any arab here they'll tell you it's heavy on the jewish and rather light on the democratic. angry demonstrators take to the streets claiming the next step transferring arab israelis to a palestinian state but the government is doing its best to accommodate he demands and recently approved a loyalty bill by a twenty two eight majority. the government under american pressure to freeze settlement building and needs lieberman support but arab citizens like the windy will never give in a hollow muscle or how that argument i must live in oslo and i'm not allowed to swear in the world you two are. what you do swear to in the first word to them what

do i think them. but what i have done and as jerusalem announces preliminary plans for two hundred thirty eight new secure homes scenes like this are much more likely than arabs pledging allegiance to an israel that keeps them under the. policy r.t. to level of. russia and europe who have moved closer than ever on to issues that previously divided them at a meeting between the leaders of russia france and germany president medvedev said he will attend next month's nato meeting in lisbon and two main european powers expressed guarded support for moscow's position on abkhazia and south are setting up for the details let's our course like to what he has got to get out of obviously following the polls in the north and the french resort city of hello to you so it seems like russia and the e.u. are one step closer on a broad range of issues here. it does indeed henri and of course many experts are

already saying that the mood of resetting ties which started of course with russia and the united states is now moving eastward with relations between russia and the e.u. also growing closer stronger better toys all the three leaders russian president dmitry medvedev and his colleagues angle of merkel and sarkozy took the chance to reiterate good friendship and the nature of the trust that exists at the moment between the three countries and they want to continue investing into that trust and building on that friendship to develop their relationship further and of course many. are seeing the signs in some of the aspects that came out during the press conference specifically of course the russian president's agreement to attend the nato summit in lisbon that will take place next month that many already viewing as a sign that russia and nato are getting over some of its differences and

difficulties and are willing to work together of course this is viewed as a very good sign why the european leaders. will be taking part in the russian nato summit in lisbon this because need to concept is the same good cooperation with other countries including russia i think russia has confirmed that we have to fight against terrorism and nuclear weapons and i think. again i'm not be any music anymore. so of course this is a very important step for russia and the european union this decision to work closer with nato discussing the potential for russia to join the european anti-missile defense program according to the leaders was also discussed and of course a number of other issues on which previously europe and russia did not exactly see eye to eye specifically of course the war in south thousand and eight. russia was

of course. very disappointed with some of the reactions that took place in many european countries not perhaps condoning but not being as out toward georgia's aggression in the august of two thousand and eight and today president actually said the best way for the situation to to develop and to progress would be for georgia to sign a non invasion agreement and for russia to agree to post european observers in those territories. we have to continue. to do. so this is of course a very important step france of course was involved in the negotiations. after

the. weeklong war took place in august of two thousand and eight and now the russian foreign affairs ministry and the french side both have confirmed russia has fulfilled all of its obligations by removing all its all of its military from the territories previously agreed with. the negotiations so this seems to be a very important step towards a better relationship between russia and the. now to spy them covering the issues of european security and that a visa free travel tell us what else with the three leaders talking about. well of course many were expecting to hear more details about the proposed plan for a global european security system that was proposed by the russian president on a number of occasions but despite the fact that all of the leaders did say they talked about it there haven't been any definitive conclusions to come out of their discussions they have said that they will continue discussing and that they do need a system like that because of course of the ever growing threats not only to states

individually but to communities as a whole to europe to russia to the entire continent and that is why people need to work together and perhaps figure out a way to encompass of global security system that would be satisfactory to everybody involved but it wasn't of course the only item on the agenda many other aspects of the relationship between russia and the specifically visa free travel that is something that russian citizens are definitely looking forward to all right now they're obligated to obtain a visa to travel within the e.u. discussions on having those visas removed are also ongoing but it's not only are issues that are relevant. on the agenda of course also issues relevant to the international community such as peace in the middle east of the ongoing negotiations the situation in afghanistan and of course iran's nuclear ambitions russian president. underlining the fact that everybody involved with iran in these

negotiations and in their dealings with iran need to be very careful to stick not only to the sanctions but also to make sure to work on a diplomatic way to get iran to cooperate with the international community. but we have confirmed that the agreement reached. on one hand we should stick to the sanctions were imposed on the other hand. all issues. covering a broad range. thank you very much. well let's get to some other news stories now making headlines around the world this hour and protesters are wreaking havoc across france strikes rolled into the sixth day students and workers have blockaded buildings and businesses and left the streets littered with burned cars as they attempt to affect an upcoming vote in parliament this wednesday

demonstrators are against proposed pension reforms which the government insists will go forward as planned the action has hit the fuel supply hard forcing some petrol stations to close and airlines to cancel a large number of flights. a wave of mud and debris has swept through southeastern peru forcing dozens of families to flee their homes in the middle of the night a nearby river burst its banks on leasing a deluge of muddy water on the unsuspecting residents at least fifty homes have been destroyed by the torrent so far. well russia is infamous for its bad roads and reckless driving almost thirty thousand people lose their lives in traffic accidents every year and as a teaser sean thomas has been finding out the problems to start with learn a drivers bing their way to get behind the wheel. welcome to russia where the roads are notoriously bad driver safety seemingly optional and the traffic notorious they

were doing it. with very busy traffic that has been poorly organized and which requires improvements interchanges have been made in efficiently traffic lights haven't been working properly and road signs are located in such a way that drivers often can't see them at all this results in numerous accidents. in two thousand and nine alone there were nearly two hundred four thousand car accidents the human cost was twenty six thousand deaths and more than a quarter of million people seriously injured the international transportation formalists russia as having the most traffic deaths per capita in the world many believe corruption and general lack of knowledge are to blame. do you know the traffic signs. i do what does this one mean. i don't know. i don't know oh isn't this amazing temporal drivers are supposed to go to

a driving school and pass a test on a close course like this one that we are on right now as well as study the different tactics of driving from a written test but that's not exactly how it happens in most cases around moscow. probably there are two problems with fake driving licenses the first is that criminal groups issue fake licenses of such a high quality that only a specialist can see it's fake it's fake license and think it's real but the other problem is it bribes and driving schools to pass driving tests this girl wishes to remain anonymous but for the purposes of television we will call her conscious like many russian drivers she's protest her license illegally so how much did it cost her that well the actual amount is eight hundred dollars but that was that money i think should be thrown in driving school i was supposed to attend classes and so on but i was living in st petersburg at the time so i couldn't. shop at the school but what if but as country learned learning how to drive properly isn't as essential as

having the proper pay off some with my father let it be officials would back me only for money and that is why there was no need for me to update my license in a traditional way it's easier to buy it he took me to some distant metro station in moscow suburb they are they invited me to a room they issued my driving license to me into my photograph i was so ashamed i said i'm sorry i will really learn how to drive they answered it doesn't matter to us. and now even conscious thinks she may be right on the road in a yes i have a feeling that i'm a threat to pedestrians if you days ago i fail to see a bicycle rider in the dark i think that can serve as just a vacation prompting many to call for a complete overhaul of russia's driver's education system at the system or the queue it's not enough to fire a bribe taker it's necessary to change the entire system as long as there is the matter that will be supplied we need real changes at the high level in the interior ministry on what we can probably even at the state management level and hopefully

making russia's roads a safer place to be shawn thomas. i live in the business up there with just a few it's. great for the full story we've got it's. the biggest issues get a human voice face to face with the news makers. hello and a very warm welcome to the business program the russian government has

a fifty billion dollars reason to improve the country's investment climate it has an extensive program of privatizations it wants to get to the market but as an item of federal reports it's a plan that needs the help of foreign capital. hundred billion dollars has flowed into the russian economy as foreign investment but it could have been more if not for administrative barriers access to infrastructure and labor difficulties in the regions it's inadequate training of the workforce number two it's difficult to use for accessing financing number three it's high levels of corruption and number for unfair competition from the grey market the prime minister to nude of the criticism and assured this emblem investors and business people he understood their problems however he was keen to point out the progress that had been made the right to leave that had been slashed the fight against corruption and opening up of the russian market reforms would continue he said pledging that foreign investors could count

on getting the same treatment from the offices of state as domestic companies which is in your position we do make a distinction between russian and foreign business when it comes to protecting the rights of investors it's important for us to create comfortable conditions for those who want to make investments in russia to develop their business to promote their goods and services. the russian government has a strong incentive to quickly improve investor sentiment it has an extensive program of privatization to get away with this many as twenty of the country's biggest state run companies marked for possible sale the finance ministry wants to raise around fifty billion dollars from the assets over the next five years to help cover the budget deficit it's an ambition that will be hard to achieve if i wanted my knees afraid to come here you know and we've a business r.t. . but privatization program itself will help to improve investment climate in russia that's according to your talk president of morgan stanley in russia and

c.i.s. i do believe it will because it's one of the concerns of the government are still involved governments no aware are very efficient in running the companies in any way and the more companies become public they have to report to investors the help the independent have been dependent directors the more transparent and open the economy will be so i think privatization is a very important step in that direction. a look at the markets now operation indices on the rise with my cigs breaking the psychological mark of fifteen hundred points first of the blue chips occurring whisper frank up and moving to percent of both but also it's b two b. and gross nafta also among the top guess on the my six. european stocks are off this some of the markets are trying to overcome earlier losses but sports from the financial sector in the wake of earnings from citigroup technology stocks for a week after results from apple and internet.
