would you be so much brighter if you move the sun from science to pressure. starts on t.v. . in

the capital of russia's republic of chechnya a group of militants storming the parliament killed by security forces three people died in the attack seventeen. the russian president has promised the french and german leaders that he will attend next month's nato summit dimitri medvedev said france is welcome to step as with the e.u. . russia is horrific crash it just takes prompt calls to review its driving education system as many incompetent drivers bribe their way on to the right. well from the heart of moscow and this is a very warm welcome to

a group of militants who broke into the parliament of russia's republic of chechnya have all been killed in a shootout with special forces at least three other people died after the gunman stormed into the building in the capital grozny more details correspondent. in crescent the maryland where the parliament building has been stranded by the militants the whole area is a block to now and what we know so far is that foreign militants drove into the parliament's parking zone the fellow the car one of the parliament members and the militants who are believed to belong to al qaida opened fire three people have been killed in the crossfire and several were injured as well as on credit of the head of the church and republic says the operation which was very short fifteen twenty minutes is now over three police officers have been killed in the crossfire and 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 foreman's me of the parliament and this was denied later on down the ministry over internal affairs there also were reports that one of the militants as caved in to cost a just and this was also denied and there were reports that one of the members of the palm and has been hurt and we haven't received any information about this so far you're working. today at eight forty five am militants made an attempt to get into the parliament building as usual their plants failed police stop them all the militants were killed. this a curator measures in church near the border of the republic have been tightened and these militants are believed to be linked 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. right there now there have been

a number of successful recent security operations in southern russia which have now revealed how militants there have links to al qaeda. in the uk over reports on the impact international terrorism has on russia. it's too soon to say who is responsible for this 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 in fights 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 kratz a few weeks ago there well that makes us think that this is sort of terrorist funded media in the world i am well aware though 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 more of 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's security forces and the country's authorities as he was behind the two explosions that took place in moscow's not show in march this year when two female suicide bombers exploded themselves killing forty people and leaving another eighty eight injured and just several months after that another explosion to place in the city a particular school in a car that was parked on one of the streets over the city exploded injuring thirty people luckily no one died in that one just two months after that another suicide bomber drove a car sues the cars central markets and exploded himself in the car killing nineteen people and leaving t.v. hundred injured and many experts also linked with those two terrorist attacks to

the international terrorist groups also recently i've actually been was arrested in the moscow region that man was the search spreading extremist literature among people he's the head of one of international terror. 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 sir cases like that give you an idea of the scale of the presence of international terrorist groups into. reporting now a quick reaction from the author in chechnya shows improvement and how security services are dealing with terrorists well that's the view of the russian state duma deputy. so to us which is. what happened today has shown that the current situation leaves much to be desired violent skirmishes are thing of the past and militants now go for different tactics obviously this operation has been prepared turley has

highlighted a number of shortcomings in the security system of state institutions and it definitely shows that the police and special services must pursue more robust human intelligence operations what happened in the parliament has shown that we managed to react to it immediately and to avoid a huge death toll but the attack itself gives rich food for thought showing that there are still forces eager to destabilize the situation in the north caucuses because this will come for you soon divided over a pledge of allegiance. this country defines itself as a jewish and democratic state but if you ask just about any arabs they'll tell you it's heavy on the jewish and rather light on the democratic we report on how our recently adopted a loyalty oath. israeli palestinian relations even further also. the potential drivers are supposed to go to a driving school and pass a test on a closed course like this one that we're on right now as well as studying the

different tactics of driving from a written test but that's not exactly how it happens in most cases around moscow russia is renowned for its roads reckless motorists find out how driving licenses come in quite a cost literally. russia's president dmitri will attend the nato summit next month in lisbon welcomed as a major move towards closer ties with the e.u. the announcement came during talks between the russian french and german leaders in the french resort city. following all of the discussions. 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 ties all the three leaders russian president dmitry medvedev and his colleagues angle of merkel and nicolas sarkozy took the chance to reiterate the friendship and the nature of trust that exists at the

moment between the three countries and that they want to continue investing into that trust and building on that friendship to develop their relationship 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. we're happy the russian president will be taking part in the russian native summit in lisbon that's because nature is new strategic concept is aimed at creation without the conjurers including russia i think russia has confirmed that we have to fight against terrorism and nuclear weapons and i think we should tackle easy shoes together. so of course this is a very important step for russia and the european union this decision to work

closer with nato are 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 on specifically of course the war in south of thousand and eight and today president sarkozy actually said the best way for the situation 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. if we have to continue diplomats you can see the. house you can meet snorts using fools you know russian friends in return have to accept european observers of course many were expecting to hear more details about this 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 a global security system that would be satisfactory to everybody involved. now let's get some more analysis of this three party dialogue in their view from victoria she's a political expert at moscow state university of international relations and joins us right now from hello to you so some commentators say that if you stay relevant in the world and maintain needs russia do you think do you think this. well i think. the point of the summit was actually is showing that

both europe and russia meet each other and they want to demonstrate that they're still relevant to their you know to world politics and. it's not only about america and about china that are dominating especially. their upcoming currency wars or even. present day currency wars. they are not on the margins of their world politics and i think that's the significance of this summit the first time in five years since two thousand and three. president dmitri medvedev has said that he will attend next month's nato summit in lisbon but i did russia has not yet decided about participation in the alliances missile defense system what would affect moscow's decision. well i think in terms of euro. system that that will be discussed at the upcoming nato summit. russia still needs

some more concrete details and in terms of it if i know they decided to come to this meeting i think it's about. europe probably hoping for further compromises and terms of. visit regime between the two entities between russia and the e.u. which was not unfortunately and was not taken this time the decision wasn't taken and i actually don't hope for it in the near future i'm not very optimistic about the point but it think russia understand that it it needs. compromise and it needs to have more partners not only within bric countries but also you know upcoming g twenty summit and also in the wake of upcoming marriage if it came in procedure for there starts to be treaty i think it needs more support from its european colleagues is to demonstrate that it has partners in them on their allies of the united states and also in their run up of their. congressional elections in

the united states which is very much likely to turn into republican from now just a few moments ago you mentioned that you're not terribly hopeful that a road map for the consolation of visas between the e.u. and russia can be achieved but there are some that are hoping that it could be reached perhaps with a russia e.u. summit in brussels in december of this year so you know what why the gloomy outlook from your from your perspective. well i think europe is still holding political or is it racism about their. introduction of the regime because frankly there is no russian leadership has been say not once about it there are no real obstacles to the introduction of such a regime but yet. well like right she agreed and it was a big step in favor of the european union russia agreed to introduce their it mission first to russia for the russian citizens and then to the third party

citizens if they were coming from their russian federation which is a kind of their additional expense for for russia and still europe finds that their political and the information they cannot make. it could i make space is what should be done as circassian else within ten fifteen years which is also not very likely so it's all political type of one single question and yeah europe is just not ready because of its fears which don't have real basis i believe. all right victoria part of a political expert from moscow as a state university of international relations thank you. a law forcing perspective israeli citizens who are non jews to pledge allegiance to a jewish state has unleashed a storm of anger among arabs despite the israeli government wanting to extend the oath to jews are obsessed to refuse to swear loyalty to

a state that has prosecuted them. reports this photograph is all that remains from some near his family home the hall survived for generations but it couldn't survive an israeli demolition two years ago. i started to have problems with the circulars ten years ago they wanted to take all of my land do you took one house and then they wanted to take this house since then he started rebuilding the only thing god the supreme court's discovered that big documents 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 learned a family of israeli settlers now lives on property samir insists is his and his story only one of many. in the two hours we spend here therefore a recess and the usual round of tear gas rubber bullets and blame and they are

because the union 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 you some sacrifices for peace they should start looking at the us is legitimate. 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 arabs 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 lieberman's demands and recently approved the loyalty bill by a twenty two eight majority in. the government under american pressure to freeze settlement building and needs lieberman support but arab citizens like the windy will never given. that argument i'm a muslim i'm not allowed to swirl the world you two are jewish the word true in the first word to them what do i think them. will study again 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 thumb policy r.t. to level of. german president christian vault is to speak before the turkish parliament he's the first german president to visit the country in over ten years

this follows chancellor angela merkel saying last week that multiculturalism had totally failed in germany and as the country grapples with integrating its three and a half million muslims the majority of whom are turkish. caught journalist and author from berlin says the problems of integration stems from religion. as a believer as a muslim you should not learn from an unbeliever you should obey to islam and to the muslims so we have we have saudi percent of muslims of turkish muslims in germany leaving schools without learning anything they don't have a diploma or anything because their religion would have to obey to what the unbelievers tell you this is going to cause conflicts this is going to cause big problems so what i believe is that there is a place for muslims in this world and for their culture and there is a place for european and western culture to live in what i don't believe that.

they will live peacefully together. and you can catch that interview in full next hour right here on alt. well getting behind the wheel in russia means you could be taking your life into your hands each year around twenty five thousand people look killed on the roads in a country renowned for drivers with a distinct disregard for safety but getting a license in russia does not necessarily guarantee driving skills it may just mean the right person has been paid off as aussies sean thomas found out. welcome to russia where the roads are notoriously bad driver safety seemingly optional and the traffic notorious they were doing. with very busy traffic which has been poorly organized and which requires improvement interchanges have been made inefficiently traffic lights haven't been working properly and road signs are located in such

a way that drivers often can't see them 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 forum lists 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 drivers are supposed to go to a driving school and pass a test on a quote of course like this one that we're 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.

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 people buy a fake license and think it's real the other problem is bribes and driving schools to pass driving tests this girl wishes to remain anonymous but for the purposes of television we will call her like many russian drivers she's purchased her license illegally so how much did it cost her well the actual amount is eight hundred years dollars but there was that money i think should be from a 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 as country learned learning how to drive properly isn't as essential as having the proper pay off some of my fathers or their physicians would blackmail me for money and that is why there was no need for me to obtain 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 the issued my driving license to me and took my photograph i was so ashamed i said i am sorry i will really learn how to drive the answer doesn't matter to us . and now even thinks she may be a threat on the road. 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 that it's not enough to fire a bribe taker it's necessary to change the entire system as long as there is demand there will be supply we need real changes at the high level in the interior ministry and probably even at the state management level hopefully making russia's roads a safer place to be sean thomas moscow. or it was all about joins me for the latest business update mixed news for computer giant apple today oh yes it's broken its own profit record for calls for its latest results but

investors are less impressed with its trading elop and so its shares have fallen sharply a wall street more after a short break. hungry for the food we've got. the biggest issues get voice face to face with the news makers. every month we give you the future we help you understand how we'll get there and what. the best in science and technology from across russia and around the world join. on our jeep. and i welcome to the business program with racial amos folly russian roadways plans to raise about five billion dollars by selling subsidiaries in the next two years the program for this to increase selling thirty five percent of trans called mia

and ten percent of trans credit bank to raise six hundred million dollars question they always will raise an additional six hundred million this year by selling sixty three thousand carriages and by leasing that in total the company to sell stock in forty eight subsidiaries by two thousand and twelve. the russian government has a fifty billion dollar reason to improve the country's investment climate it has an extensive program of privatizations it wants to get some markets but as the united medvedev reports is 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 like about 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 get nude of the criticism and assured their semblant 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 the 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 especially 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 when we have a business r.t. . the privatization program itself will help to improve investment climate in russia that's according to a learned to tell of a president of morgan stanley in russia and c.i.s. . i do believe it will because that's one of the concerns of the government is too involved governments know or where are very efficient in running the companies in any way and the more companies become public they have to report to investors they have to independent independent directors the more transparent and open the economy will be so i think privatization is a very important stuff and. now another news hour flight shares are heading for their highest close in more than two years that's after russia's finance minister recommended the government sell

a minority stake in the company as part of its prophesies ation program currently this data is fifty one percent of russia's national carrier which is a capitalization of two point five billion dollars. that's a look at the markets now and here in russia they're falling with our with both horses sinking into the red the real nickel only for the leading the declines down more than one percent on the r.t.s. . over in europe with the price quarter point hike in china's benchmark lending and deposit rates in the run the results stalled dragging the main indexes self the news that featured the crude and gold and dragged down shares of related stocks across europe the footsie is down low point four percent of. the russian aircraft producers sukhoi narrowed is net loss by twenty percent to ninety one million dollars over the last financial year that's on the back of a twenty percent jump in sales he said it before which was helped by a significant increase in government brands and we currently. are staying which.
