team for the next game in moscow. but this is very terrifying for me the hockey team is like a family i lost a family of forty people people i was close to for such a long time. now maxine is supportive of rebuilding the locomotive franchise but he's torn by survivor's guilt. i haven't met their families yet i can't imagine how that'll break or this is horrible for me i wasn't thinking about whether i was lucky or not that i wasn't on the plane with everyone. and now he must rely on his community sharing in the grief process so that the healing can begin and as a steady stream of mourners continue to come to this central church to show their support it is clear that this is not just about an accident or a plane crash but it's about the loss of a team and something very important to a community that they will remember forever. thomas. locomotive was an

be paid to certain elements within the syrian opposition before the international community. to dealing with them now president medvedev also called on both the assad government and the opposition to bring about an end to violence in the country. i believe the resolutions we would approve to send a strong message to the syrian regime should in fact we address to both sides things aren't just black and white and the anti-government protesters in syria are not followers of some refined european models of democracy there are different groups within the opposition some of them are to put it straight extremists and some might even be called terrorists which situation is not that simple and we have to take into account the balance of different forces and interests of the russian they support certain moves but only if they don't boil down to the one sided condemnation of the government of president assad we should send a strong message calling on all the conflicting parties to come to the negotiating table to start talks and stop the bloodshed this is in all also in russia's

interest because russia has always been syria's friend and our countries have close economic and political ties that's why we'll continue to look for solutions to the situation in syria you know with supports with russia oppose the sanctions that have been put in place on syria including the most recent ones imposing an oil embargo saying that more time should be given to the assad government to achieve the promises made to bring about change in the country the president mentioned there that negotiation is important and russia is playing its part as a mediator on friday representatives of the. the syrian opposition are in moscow for talks with top russian diplomats on monday representatives from the assad government will be here to talk to diplomats to try and bring an end to this situation in syria russia of course. doesn't want to go see syria go down the same road as what happened in libya with the un resolution that was imposed being all

abused as far as russia. with the international intervention going well beyond the parameters laid out in the mandate they want to see negotiation bring a peace if you syria. artie's peter all of our reporting from moscow you can see the full version of the interview president medvedev gave to euro news television on our website dot com. images from nine eleven are still chilling even ten years after the attacks shook the world and triggered the so-called war on terror but in the country that's been at the forefront of that war can be hard to find people who remember why foreign troops arrived in the first place we continue our special coverage of the nine eleven anniversary with this report from afghanistan. helmand in southern

afghanistan is the province that was borne the brunt of the fighting between the taliban and coalition forces but what would afghans in this war torn province think about nine eleven and its consequences. while on patrol with the marines i get a first opportunity to ask a couple of young afghan men what they know about nine eleven but those who are. here. if you show them a few more and can us the do they know where it is even if we don't know if that's because because of uniform or we never heard about the need that were. coming. to young men and clearly never heard of nine eleven. but maybe the elders of the local sure would have more to say you know you see you. just can see the smoke from the buildings and that's a that's one thing i can say when you guys show this picture of the guys saying it so i think it was a call what if i just got here i would been surprised but having been here now for

six months it's promised the stone ages where we are and what to do about the reactions that's needed so that when the guy who said it was kabul was never going to kabul. just shows you how isolated they are even in their own country. understand. that look i'm not going to you but don't kid out we've got going to send them to. going to get the airplane from here to attack in the united states but you know how much. thought it was nice to go from iraq to then here is a lot easier to understand you know why you're here in the city at that picture you go through picture mind yourself because. if you actually look at it in this article wearing the uniform if you're in the right. if you back the former head of the truck what we're doing i mean is there a can saying we're going to help you to destroy one funding and it is to ask how many funding and this is going to help you where is the help but not done with this is going to give it to our kids again and to fighting and they get to their own

kids in a paper that i don't and. i do sympathize or understand what your some are saying is even just from the weather we've had recently people losing their homes and nobody to help them so you know when you have when you can feed yourself the earth house yourself are you to care about somebody you know six thousand miles away. so i can understand that this is all you got up out of the top of that i never thought to ask those questions of anybody here that's why we're here amazingly in a country where for ten years a war has been fought with nine eleven as its root cause and justification it turns out not only with the villages oblivious to nine eleven but still with the afghan police and even some of the translators working with the u.s. military if you go this far you can see that i have no idea. if you have seen the faces for. a survey taken in twenty ten by the international council on security and development found that ninety two percent of afghan men in helmand and other

afghan provinces had no idea what nine eleven was with american troops that start with during this year it seems likely that they will leave afghanistan without the vast majority of afghans ever having really understood why they came in the first place adam put from afghanistan for no and on our website our team. recalls how we came up with the idea of filming that story he says how u.s. marines once told him a. the day when the moon was high over an afghan village and the soldiers told the elders how the united states had sent a man to the moon they were applied by bursting into laughter that made adam wonder what else the afghans didn't know read more of his recollections of complete with pictures at r.t. dot com part of our continuing special coverage of ten thousand of our story of nine eleven. the term became synonymous with pure evil. those senseless slaughter room 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. palestinians have started their campaign for a statehood ahead of the september twentieth vote in united nations but dr ron pundak chairman of the palestinian israeli peace forum says there are forces on both the israeli and palestinian side who would like violence to erupt in the buildup to the vote. now what is happening between us and the pussy means will be judged by whether there would be a long they seemed lines between the israeli forces and the put it and also between the police and the said had immense with the they west bank but as much as i understand the interest of both sites is not to reach any. sites that provoke with the force and the strength of the two governments would be to try and

calm down these provocations and not to be carried away by the look of those which would be to heat the area because they don't want to see quiet as quiet is a message for the future they hope for the peace force us and these people don't want to see peace. pressure on israel building from yet another direction turkey vowing to sue the country in the international court over its blockade of gaza this follows on her cutting military and trade ties over israel's failure to apologize for the deaths of nine turks last year they participated in a humanitarian hotel a that tried to break through the blockade imposed by israel in two thousand and seven after hamas came to power in the palestinian authority. the first funerals have been held in new delhi two days after a massive briefcase bomb exploded outside the city's high court twelve people were killed in the blast and dozens more wounded indian authorities detained three men

barrels. when you have new ideas. president barack obama has presented his much anticipated jobs to congress and earmarks more than four hundred billion dollars for putting people back to work but critics say it's too little too late or he's got a house more. president obama addressed the lawmakers he put forward measures to create jobs and stimulate the sluggish economy at the u.s. has seen several years of massive job loss unemployment remains over nine percent we're talking about millions of people living jobless in this country congress might cut off unemployment benefits starting next year and the jobless in america will find themselves in an even more dire situation president obama in his address

called for the congress to extend benefits for the unemployed he also suggested tax incentives for small businesses another measure he put forward is giving money we're talking about one hundred forty billion dollars to states and local governments so that they can keep you know the teachers and firefighters employed also hire infrastructure workers so that those workers can go out and spend money and keep the consumption going although experts are saying that the stimulus plan obama is suggesting will not really bring the u.s. economy out of the woods because it will create in the best scenario around one and a half million jobs but it takes a leaven million jobs new jobs just to get back to the pre recession level there's a lot of skepticism out there in congress many lawmakers are not happy with obama's spending plans while obama is not happy with the lawmakers unwillingness to really frustrating too many here is that this package of one hundred forty billion dollars in direct stimulus is being debated so fiercely where is the bill giving nearly

a trillion dollars a year on defense purposes and on wars get passed easily and quietly that surely leaves many americans really frustrated about their representatives on a product. console in the richard esco says obama shows a lack of political strength even though he claims to play hardball. well look the housing crisis alone took six point seven trillion dollars out of this economy there are twenty five million people unemployed or underemployed so yes we need to be pretty aggressive as for the president again look i'm glad he's talking about jobs he should have done it before but even when he says i'm going to be bold and take a firm stand he does seem to say to the other side would you like my firm stand by throw in some things that you like till is that not too firm so i think we've reached the point where we have to say look this is the beginning this is just the start if it passes if it doesn't pass then it's clear that republicans want to sell

the country out for their electoral chances next year. coming your way soon but first the business report with dmitri. going welcome to the program the gas dispute between russia and ukraine is reaching breaking point given system lowering prices moscow says it's ready to negotiate but the basics of the agreements will not be changed. and let them go we are ready to discuss different ways to cooperate with ukraine including ukraine joining the customs union or our investment presence in ukraine's economy and its gas transportation network if we agree on these we might be ready to change our scheme of cooperation but either way it will be based on a pricing formula i hope to know ukrainian partners will follow the existing contract and for the immediate future we'll agree on that. fears of another global downturn coupled with sovereign debt woes have put

a damper on russia's privatization plans among the biggest the states could postpone the sale of a seven point six percent stake in burbank the current market volatility has resulted in twenty percent declines in the lender's share price king's melbourne dead city believes the government could implement another strategy to help privatisation stay on course i think it's not just in russia that people are persuading patient it's clearly a global phenomenon in which a single russian so it's pretty bad as a result of that there are other ways of doing that so for example one clever idea might be if the government were to take these possible so that they were thinking of privatizing and inject them into a pension fund for example which would kill two birds with one stone or one he would give a very large amount of capital to a pension fund of the other hand it would actually make the market i think quite enthusiastic because it would give internal domestic sources of long term capital and indeed internal domestic pressure to increase eales returns and dividends so that might be one. clever solution to try and get round that issue. for the first

time a foreign investor may come to russia's pipe making industry the country's furred largest manufacturer of steel pipes shell pipes is in talks to sell around twenty five percent stake to french company value rick thomason daily says the deal worth four hundred million dollars is expected to be completed in october child has long been struggling to attract investments pay its debt and fund further development the washing company made two attempts to raise capital with a public offering but had to cancel the plans due to uncertainty in the market. commodities now will is on the rise after barack obama proposed the jobs act worth more than four hundred billion dollars the troubled us economy bred to blend is that almost one hundred fifteen dollars per barrel light sweet eighty nine dollars twenty five it's. european stocks are trading in the red zone led by losses for carmaker porsche following a delay to its merger with. the stock is down seven point seven percent this

tallow well meanwhile is up twelve percent after the company said it discovered oil off the cost of french guy and therefore the footsies down by just are not. losses of stephen here in moscow with the r.t.s. my six are now down more than one percent twelve more than one on the r.t.s. this is on profit taking will turning slightly lower and european markets snoozing secular get some individual share move was on the mindsets a burbank is a one point three percent down that's after posting a one hundred fifty five percent increase in net profit for the first eight months of the year under russian accounting standards not performing the lows of the bank have continued to decrease but their level is still double the market average. three straight in positive territory the power generating company has returned to profit in the first half of the after a loss at this time last year pollies gold is also slightly up on stronger gold prices. also fossil temba has been

a month of respect for stock markets compared to a heavy selloff in the previous month however it's too early to celebrate this week of intricate dialogue believe stocks are at risk of having an even bigger slump in october. a result is the most dangerous months in global equity markets historically that's when investors confidence capitulate and we're heading into a fairly similar and therefore dangerous period in this october you know the confidence is clearly very fragile if the economic indicators in early october are bad we are vulnerable to another october style selloff and i think particularly when we start seeing the third quarter financial results from the u.s. banks i think that's going to be a very critical period if those numbers are bad or if the banks you know start talking much more negatively than they have been about the environment i think that could undermine confidence and we could have an october crash so we're very vulnerable to an october crash this year more than any other year in the last ten years business will be back in fifteen minutes time with an update i'll see that.
