why news live from moscow this is aussie welcome to the program. 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 and seventeen were injured as the gunman stormed into the building in the capital grozny more details now from our correspondent oksana literature over. we are in front of the parliament that has been attacked by the militants earlier this day the investigators are still working on the scene what we do know is that four militants drove into the parliament sparking so they followed the car of one of the parliament members the militants who are believed to have links to al qaeda opened fire killed a security guard. probe into the building and later on they were blocked in this building are a several security guards who were killed on the tour of the head of the chechen republic says that the operation to counter terrorist operation was short and

successful all the militants were killed some of them are believed to be suicide or murders and their bodies are yet to be identified seventeen people have been injured during this attack six of them are police officers and eleven civilians novelli of the russian interim minister who has been in chechnya at the moment overtax says that the operation was successful and this is how he commented on the situation you were here. today at eight forty five am militants made it attempt to get into the parliament building as usual their plans failed police stopped them the militants were killed. there have been conflicting reports about their attack in crossly earlier this day like there was information that one of the militants escaped to casa just but this was later on denied by the interior minister they have also been reports that these buildings have been mined which is not true and there have been speculations that one of the members of the column and was injured

during their tax and we haven't received any confirmation so far are these militants are also believed to be connected to the group that attacked the whole village of rooms on credit of the church and president earlier this fall right now investigators are working on the scene this accuser to measures in grozny and throughout all of the borders with other republics have been tightened. oxana trove of reporting now there have been a number of successful security operations in southern russia recently which have revealed how militants have links to al qaeda. 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 new rochelle recently have shown that behind many of them stupid international terrorist organizations and experts say that 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 threat a few weeks ago there well that makes us think that this is sort of terrorist funded media in the world and whether these are international whether this is national i think that 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 just several months after that another explosion to place in

the city of 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 to 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 the man was the surf spreading extremist literature among people he is 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 a show. that's all you know because reporting for the quick reaction from

authorities in chechnya shows improvement in how security services are dealing with terrorists plus the view of russian state duma deputy gulf. so to answer to. 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 turly 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 caucasus because of. you all with it's good to have your company. divided over. this country. and democratic state but if you ask any arabs.

it's on the jewish and on the democratic report on how recently. palestinian relations. also. 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 driving licenses. russia's president dmitri medvedev 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 of a view. is following all the. 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 talk 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 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 nato is

new strategic concept is aimed at good gratian without the contras 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 upon specifically of course the war in south ossetia and two 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. we have to continue diplomatic efforts through the

georgia 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. in our sort of reporting now director of russia and i have sent the french institute of

international relations dr thomas to goa says that if europe wants to stay relevant in the world and maintain peace it needs russia i think it's clear for all the european capitals or european security can be established and build up we've got to. respond to a view. confirmation of the role given to russia in terms of european security regarding the young team inside the fence i think it is. a very hot topic and i think it's maybe two are really to try to conclude. russian participants i think there is some possibility is but each bar should certainly elaborate more on that it's definitely. burn will be an important step. a law forcing prospective 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 still refuse to swear loyalty to a state that has prosecuted them as artie's fall asleep reports. this photograph is all that remains from some mere why these family home the house survived for generations but it couldn't survive an israeli demolition two years ago in the middle of the circle 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. think god the supreme courts discovered their big documents they changed the name of my grandfather on the papers but the discovery didn't help him hang on to most of his grandfather's land a family of israeli settlers now lives on property from near insists is his and his

story only one of many. in the two hours we spend here therefore of this and the usual round of tear gas rubber bullets and blame and because 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 you some sacrifices for peace they should start looking at the us is getting that. 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 lieberman's demands and recently approved a loyalty bill by a twenty two eight majority on. 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'm a muslim i'm not allowed to swear in the world due to a jewish the will to do swear to in the first word to them what do i think them. but what if your own and those jerusalem announces preliminary plans for two hundred thirty eight hundred new secure homes seems like there's so 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 vote fiz to speak before the turkish parliament he's the first german president to visit the country in over ten years as 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. journalist and author from berlin says the problem 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 saudi percent of muslims of turkish muslims and. many leaving schools with long and they say that they don't have a diploma or anything because their religion tells them the pope have to obey to what the unbelievers tell you this is going to cost 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. they will live peacefully together. you can catch that full interview in about fifteen minutes time right here on r.t. . well getting behind the wheel in russia means you could be taking your life into your own hands each year around twenty five thousand people are 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 sean thomas reports. welcome to russia where the roads are notoriously bad driver safety seemingly optional end of the traffic

notorious they were doing it. with very busy traffic which has been poorly organized and which requires improvements interchanges have been made inefficiently of 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 a million people seriously injured the international transportation formalists russia and having the most traffic deaths per capita in the world many believe corruption and general lack of knowledge are to blame do you know of the traffic signs. i do what does this one mean. i don't know really 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 buying 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 show up 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 cardioid thinks she may be a threat on the road even if yes i have a feeling that i'm a threat to pedestrians if you days ago i feel to see a bicycle rider in the dark i think that can serve as just prompting many to call for a complete overhaul of russia's driver's education system if the system won't 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 in probably even at the state management level hopefully making russia's

roads a safer place to be sean thomas or t. moscow. or let's now take a look at some other world stories making headlines this hour the death toll from floods in vietnam has risen to forty one as a search is underway for nineteen people aboard a bus that was washed away emergency workers say the raging currents are hampering the rescue effort the bus was submerged under the water which swept over the main highway in the highland province heavy rains in the country have forced over one hundred twenty thousand people to flee their homes and claimed over eighty lives in the last month. in france police have clashed with those protesting pension reform which would raise the age of retirement from sixty to sixty two in one incident youths threw stones from a bridge police responded with tear gas and barricaded the area union leaders have vowed to keep up the pressure until the government scraps the unpopular plan some two hundred more protests are scheduled on. the typhoon
