after something like this. well i mean they were a powerhouse of russian ice hockey no doubt about that they came third in the k. last last year they are three time russian champions the attract a huge amount of talent not just the russian ice hockey stars but among the dead as we've heard. the czech stars of the fast and merrick he was one of the top scorers nick h.l. a couple of seasons ago. i mean these are world class players and they were playing for lokomotiv jaroslav all it was a major club. she said what's going to happen next i don't know is is my understand a sports commentator suggested yesterday but perhaps a way forward to help this club continues for every team in the cage shell to give up a player to then go to play for lokomotiv yaroslav all this idea came from another tragedy sporting tragedy in russian history back in one nine hundred seventy nine

a packed the court football team were involved in their accident seventeen plays died then and on that the cage in the teams that were playing in the championship as it was then decided to give a player a practical so they could continue to play football that team still existed and was becky stand so that is a suggestion and i believe that it is now being considered seriously by the k h l. one development today is that the case of said that the season now it was definitely the season eight games to take place throughout this week so yes there are going to play a matter of course the seeding obviously that's been canceled so where they go from for the future i don't know all i know is that. everybody who's involved in this game will be doing their best to ensure that something can continue and also a lot of people have been starting to pay tribute to those who died and they include the rusher former captain election yashin north of the current player gone charlie

ahead in the program getting violent angry protesters in israel clashed with police as security forces try to take apart their tent city plus a. decade since nine eleven and we begin our special coverage of the anniversary commemorating the tragedy that shook the world coming your way short. termers became synonymous with pure evil. the senseless slaughter almost three thousand people stunned the world. and it all seemed like a nightmare. ten years on. r.g.p. remembers the attacks and sometimes. a look back at nine eleven. the british government faces a legal challenge over its decision not to allow a new inquest into the death of weapons expert david kelly in two thousand and three a group of doctors have questioned the official version of events that he had committed

suicide and he was authorities of a major cover up or or emmet has more for lent. more than eight years since the death of u.n. weapons inspector david kelly and still no inquest following his almost getting as the source of a report saying tony blair's government knew iraq had no weapons of mass destruction before person invaded the country kelly was found dead in woods near his home a verdict of suicide was recorded despite what many see as conflicting evidence no one's ever said questions about kelly's death and all medical and scientific reports relating to it was secretly classified something which has never been legally explained but it hasn't gone away this week talked to david how pain is demanding that the question of holding an inquest be reopened he's challenging a decision by attorney general dominic grieve who ruled out holding a coroner's inquest in june citing what he called overwhelming evidence that the

u.n. weapons inspector committed suicide but david. distinctly underwhelmed by the evidence. that this one group. cross. this is mine yeah. the lead. with. the campaign has popular support reaches of the daily mail newspaper have to ne to do around fifty six thousand dollars in just a week to help finance the appeal how pain and his fellow campaign is hope this will lead to a full inquest into kelly's death many suspect foul play just subsequent governments cover up. cover ups are normal practice for u.s. and european security services according to the human rights commissioner for the council of europe especially he says when it comes to secret prisons thomas harburg

so the proctors hampers investigations in an interview that's coming your way in about twenty minutes here. preview. well there's an enormous pressure from washington to keep all this secret in fact instructions from from cia with the support of the way tell us not to give any facts so therefore it's not easy to investigate but i think that the some of the european governments who have been involved they have to decide whether they seeing the cooperation between the secured agencies more important than to look into human rights violations and break the feet of impunity it's not acceptable that we have states within the states who have run on democratic basis and violating human rights and the security agencies must be put under democratic control and they are not for the moment in my opinion . the problems of a multicultural society

a concept that suffered huge blows recently in western europe along the main focal points of the third global policy forum in the russian city of jaroslava it's hosting debates searching for solutions to some of the world's most pressing problems with leading figures from politics economics and academia president dmitry medvedev due to speak out later in the day for more on this we're joined by our attorneys and he's in our lives in the rubble and he says day two of the four major security issues already being raised what can we expect today. well nevertheless of course this form marred by the tragedy that happened on wednesday when almost an entire hockey team being wiped out in that plane crash i just want to point out that the bang you for the forum ironically is actually their home stadium so just outside with delegations arriving with flowers you have found a gathering outside this global policy forum crying lighting candles and laying flowers paying their respects to those who lost their lives in that terrible tragedy as well as president he made his way this morning to just find out that

clash and laid flowers paid his respects before coming here to form here today like you settled. lot of speeches including one from the president they're expected to talk about the economy and plans to to a shift in the mideast and north africa and that's been a very common theme here at the two day summit it's talk more about that joining me now is daniel bach trousers head of the institute for policy and strategy an israeli think tank thank you very much for being with us i'd like to begin with the recent developments that we stop between turkey and israel what do you think that means for the region but the begin with let me pay my condolences to the families of. people which most. productive so no matter how you how you're used to suffer casualties and we know where it's going with steve because i'm always problematic from real condolences to the families and to the

city of here i will stop. as far as turkey is concerned i think that something with which i would love to see before this just by the unfortunately i'm afraid to a long time ago took a decision a strategic decision and it's not really necessarily relate to. the show of the flotilla or the usual for gaza that's turkish police say. they look a lot you sure and the u.n. people could probably pull this off to an excuse. for the policy not to think that there's any hope of course president twenty full sit down with the turkish president today on the sidelines of this forum that perhaps they're all up of course to discuss these latest developments but that russia could essentially maybe help him perhaps by handing out some of these latest abilities everyone

certainly president. is one which can sit with the i'm not sure it's the whole through so. for the president of the game mr gold. anyone we should. have sold to the club would be welcome i think by israel for sure i'd like to move to watch the developments we're seeing in libya and syria. how do you think that's going to play out i mean how much is that going to change security in the region relationships in the region how big is this and it looks like it's going to continue for some time now yes it is and you're absolutely right and i'm afraid. we are not i think the world better time than today on the contrary. because there are reasons which of growth. but the most gracious that would be uprising in egypt and in syria and in other places in the world i'm not going to change basically

those are social economic situation young people a lot of young people birthrate in those countries very very high volume of the highest in the world young generation which cannot in the end of the day bring food back home or do creation for shivah health services or social services he's looking upwards to his leaders and ask them for change. the change in leadership doesn't necessarily say says that he's changed the situation of the country egypt since the uprising since the. events he's going from bad to worse economically speaking so i don't see the change and the question which you are asking on house of ok those changes are leaving. and i'm afraid leaving no. and that's that's a warning and that of course is a big question at this year's forum these discussions will continue throughout the

day daniel on top thank you very much for your analysis this hour there you see we'll continue. it's worked out this global policy formed around today you're a slob and of course bring you the latest on that terrible tragedy which we saw on wednesday as this form centers absolutely artie's unease and our life for us in your eyes level thanks for that report. turning to israel where angry protesters have clashed with police in tel aviv after authorities tried to dismantle our tent city they were living in the camp was part of a nationwide protest against the high cost of living and social inequality party's policy or has more. standing in front of the mayor's house here in tel aviv where several dozen protesters have gathered they screaming at the mayor to resign they're calling him corrupt and they're calling on him to go home now this follows a protest just several hours ago way some two hundred demonstrators clashed with police in front of the city hall building they tried to storm the building they were throwing stones and flowers and exited and some forty people were arrested

we've been told of several incidents where protesters were brutally beaten by the police this is all in response to early wednesday morning when municipal workers started tearing up several streets where people have pitched tents for the better part of two months this was a surprise because only the government said that protesters had until the end of the month to dismantle the tents and urge them to do so peacefully but what we saw this morning is that people's tents were taken away people's personal belongings were taken away and the result was that protesters have called the government thieves nazis and and warned them that they going to be upping this kind of resistance in the coming days these protesters have been on the streets of several cities for the better part of two months they're demanding issues of social justice they were accusing the netanyahu government of putting too much attention on international affairs and not focusing enough on what is happening internally in this country just this past weekend there was the largest demonstration in israel's sixty three year history more than four hundred thousand people took to the streets

urging the government to pay attention to their demands policy are to. tentative. as the u.s. prepares to mark ten years since the nine eleven attacks the result of what president george w. bush dubbed the war on terror are coming under some scrutiny a decade of military campaigns overseas has been accompanied by headlines of civilian deaths secret prisons and alleged torture we begin our special coverage of the anniversary got a cheeky on taking a look at whether any of the succeeded in making the u.s. a safer place. they are going to be one of the deadliest terrorist attacks in history that ushered in a decade of anti terror campaigns across the globe. but is america and the world now a safer place ten years on the most recent nine eleven commission report card gives aviation security in the u.s. the worst rate an f as for terrorists experts say the methods used to fight them

have spawned even more extremism torture and if that which weren't just get off the grid or point which were thank you at the highest level on a curtain call theater and that have significantly set its back on the other they're trying to defeat terrorism following nine eleven america did not just go after the perpetrators it unleashed the campaign on a nation that had nothing to do with the attack hundreds of thousands of iraqi civilians have died since the u.s. invasion in two thousand and three america's there kade long campaign on terror has created a new phenomena more without borders and as many say without rules torture rape and murder that took place at the u.s. run prison in abu ghraib iraq as well as other u.s. prisons overseas brought global condemnation but key decision makers in the bush administration say what they did was in the best interest of their country and they would do the same again people call it torture you think it should still be

a tool yes rendition yes secret prisons yes wiretapping well with the right approval colonel lawrence wilkerson was collin powell chief of staff when he was the secretary of state under george w. bush he says some of the bush administration members deserve to be put on trial and he would be ready to testify george tenet told dick cheney what dick cheney wanted to hear oh yes it's working mr vice president we're getting great information and we're stopping terrorist attacks that is all. her book the fact that there hasn't been a terrorist attack on the scale of nine eleven on the u.s. soil is often attributed to the harsh methods used in the last decade of the war on terror but counterterrorism experts say the fact that terrorists are successfully recruiting thousands of new members these days does not add to security in the u.s. and the whole world for that matter we've also seen other extremist networks like

network swelling in response to things like u.s. drone attacks in office. so in some ways there's often a diversification of recruits and the other extreme organization in pakistan u.s. drone strikes have killed thousands of civilians and made it only a handful of actual terrorists many of the victims' loved ones seek revenge by joining radical groups others like this young man who lost both of his legs and three family members in a drone strike gather in protest asking when will the killing stop but experts say those pleas mean nothing when washington needs the chase to go on we have made a cottage industry if not a much more than a cottage industry out of the what my former boss colin powell is called the terrorist industrial complex lots of people are making lots of money off of this so-called global war on terror and our war on terror. begins with al qaida.

but it does not in there listening to george bush's declaration of war on terror from ten years ago one is left wondering whether it was the beginning of a vicious circle where the revenge would take more innocent lives and would start a new wave of terror i'm going to check our reporting from washington r.t. . interview in sports coming up but first the business with dmitri. a. warm welcome to the program you're watching business r.t. the gas dispute between russia and ukraine is getting it's a new twist to kiev says it will export the excess natural gas it has to buy out from russia to europe ukraine is fighting to renegotiate gas contras concluded in two thousand and nine under this deal ukraine has to buy thirty three billion cubic meters of gas and this will lead to a surplus of six billion next year if kiev exports it will reportedly cost gas from
