a spillover to egypt and jordan i think this is the moment the critical issue if the question is about these welly politicians the only thing they can do in the near future is improving their relations with the palestinians sitting again trying to reach an agreement i think the issue of the israeli palestinian relations will be the critical issue also regarding their relations with turkey i don't think that by lead to an early something could be done i don't think it's too late to apologize so i think by lead to only very little good to be done things have to move regionally. the sky above the russian town of beslan and turned white today as hundreds of balloons were released in memory of the victims of the country's deadliest terrorist attack over three hundred thirty people died when a group of terrorists held around a thousand people hostage in a school for three days without food or water seven years ago but is made in

there was one woman she was standing very close to us and she started calling for her son and she was calling so loud that it was a terrifying moment for many who gathered that the bassline tragedy destroyed lives of hundreds over here in the north society here and so seven years have passed the pain still remains. now to some of the world of the news this making headlines former international monetary fund chief dominique strauss may return to his native france for the first time since his arrest for sexual assault reporting from french media sources after transcon together with his wife and daughter were seen leaving new york was accused of the attempted rape of a hotel maid in. prosecutors cleared him of all charges after the major test called in to. the taliban says it's holding thirty pakistani boys who were kidnapped off the mistakenly crossing the afghan border on thursday the boys aged between twelve

vietnam war and to prevent hollowing u.s. army also cautioned to keep counting insurgency doctrine alive and to call for maintaining the full spectrum operation capabilities for the united states forces there real danger for the band in the twenty first century is not that it cuts might lead to a hollow the army but the army itself is growing more and more irrelevant in vic kind of and challenges at least for the united states for two reasons first due to the ast symmetrical nature of the current and all the horizon challenges and secondly that it is more exception than as a rule but the american g.i.'s being the most expensive soldier in the world it is the united states bat has to be a celeb more than anything else regarding the pentagon cuts. in just over

a week america will mark a decade since suffering as was terrorism on home soil nine eleven that the touch paper for a war in the us invaded iraq and afghanistan and eventually led to the killing of osama bin laden but these skulls in new york remain very health and it's also people that whether they feel today's world is any safer. the so-called war on terror that launched after the tragic nine eleven attacks on the us has cost hundreds of thousands of lives and trillions of dollars by some estimates so ten years later has the effort been worth it this week let's talk about that i think it's more secure now i think that i believe that yes is it trillions of dollars safer. i can say that i don't know the war actually inside of more terror than it's that's my opinion but that's the european opinion so to

speak as you know the europeans they are not as aggressive in the war against terrorism as the americans so both america the u.k. anybody is involved in it just just back off. the bat so hot you know because if you do back away they've won and you don't want to let the terrorists win so it's just it's not easy to come up with the right answer if anybody wants to you know to cause trouble or to or to provoke some kind of attack they can do so with or without a war so would you categorize the war on terror as a failure. as unnecessary do you think the world is safer because of it i don't know i think that we have been out of offending the court waiting for to get in more than three hours and i think that maybe is excessive but i don't know so do you think that we're giving up too much liberty in the world in the name of security i think the death of the danger is very close we have to give more liberties and if the world becomes safer and maybe we can get them back you're ok

with giving them up for a while i think so we should probably stop using the word for starters and the war on terror stop using the phrase just it's just just a stupid phrase and was coined for political reasons i think we should should stop using bad and just just do what needs to be done whether or not you think it's been . worth the effort the bottom line is the war on terror has been bloody and costly and we still have yet to see any clear plan for it then it's. twenty six minutes past the hour now i'll be about the recap our top stories in four minutes from now stay with us live here in moscow this is our take.
