a trillion dollar jobs act accompanied by stern warnings that there's no time left for political bickering. russia will send a fact finding mission to syria to get a firsthand information on the situation there the decision was announced by the country's presidential envoy to africa to get off following his meeting with a delegation of syrian opposition leaders in moscow they blame president bashar al assad for the. syria say he's making the same fatal mistakes as libya's leader colonel gadhafi must go wherever promises to do what's best for. syria telling them both sides of the conflict that it's time to move from the battlefield to the negotiating table president medvedev made this position clear in his interview peter all over points. president medvedev has warned against viewing the situation in syria in terms of good. seeing the careful consideration must be paid to certain

elements within the syrian opposition before the international community. to dealing with them now the president medvedev also called on both the assad government and the opposition to bring about an end to violence in the country with . the resolution which we would approve to send a strong message to the syrian regime should in fact be addressed to both sides things aren't just black and white they're the antigovernment protesters in syria are not followers of some refined european models of democracy some of them are to put it straight extremists and some might even be called terrorists a situation is not that simple and we have to take into account the balance of different forces and interests russia may support certain moves but only if they don't boil down to the one sided condemnation of the government and president assad we should send a strong message calling on all the conflicting parties to come to the negotiating table start talks and stop the bloodshed. russia has opposed these 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 to. 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 u.n. resolution that was imposed they're being well 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. well to hear president get of center view and fall just log

on to our website that's r.t. dot com and there you can also find more opinion and the timeline of the syrian uprising well now we continue our special coverage of the tenth anniversary of nine eleven. a terrorist attack that became synonymous with pure evil. the senseless slaughter of almost three thousand people stunned the world. and it all seemed like a nightmare. ten years. remembers the attacks and it's out of her mouth. a look back at nine eleven. all those pictures stunned the world and even a decade on the few unmoved the repercussions of that tragic day are still being felt today in the form of the now maligned war on terror and yet it seems for the majority of the people who bore the brunt of the world's fieri in the aftermath of the attacks nine eleven is just another day 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. 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 that's true we're going to. finish with a few more and can us them do they know where it is even if we don't know if that's because because we're former we never heard about the world. cup with. the two young men and clearly never heard of nine eleven. but maybe the elders of the local sure would have more to say yeah no you see you. just can see the smoke from the buildings and that's a that's one thing i can say that when you guys show this picture because i think there was

a call what if i just got here i would been surprised but having been here now for six months this is premised stone ages where we are and what to do about their reactions. so the old guy you sit. kabul was clearly never going to kabul and you just shows you how isolated they are even in their own country. understand. that you know you don't think you know you're going to america afghanistan come to this point and get the airplane from here to attack in the united states but you know how that much. thought it was nice to go from iraq to then here is a lot easier to understand you know why you're here and what they really have that picture you know is good picture in mind yourself because what you're there to see afghans looking at is this practical wearing a uniform a career in the right. to prepare for the former head of the. rank and saying we're going to help you to decide one funding and it is to ask how many funding and they say we're going to help you where is the help. write down what they're saying to give to our kids going into the fighting and they do it to their own kids in

a paper that i don't and. i do sympathize or understand what your some are saying it's 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 early how yourself are you to care about somebody you know six thousand miles away. so i can understand that i just set it up i want to tell you 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 abilities to nine eleven but with the afghan police and even some of the translators working with the u.s. military you don't know that it's ok to say that i have no idea about syria if you haven't 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. clips from afghanistan. on our website are two dot com adam plus recalls how he came up with the idea of filming that story he recalls when u.s. marines told village elders how the united states sent a man to the moon a statement met with laughter and disbelief all this made adam wonder what else the afghans didn't tell you to read more of his recollections complete with pictures at r.t.e. dot com. of the world's ice hockey community remains in mourning the loss of almost the entire team after their plane crashed on wednesday these are c.c.t.v. pictures on your screen capture the moment a huge ball of smoke rises into the air as a plane bursts into flames forty three people died when the yak forty two crashed on takeoff near the city of. it's believed the aircraft failed to gain height and

a very serious loss to me the only thing worse than that would be to lose my family they were like family to me. but as a support group of thousands. worked through their grief together one man maksim is going through his own personal nightmare he is the only member of the team not on board the fateful flight his coach told him to take the rest and meet the 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 is torn by survivor's guilt that 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 that i wasn't on that plane. 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. like a multi was a squad with international star players and the sorrow for the young men is shared throughout europe and the czech capital people gathered to remember the last players three czech nationals were on board and all were former world champions hundreds have been lay flowers chanting their names and lighting candles in their memory top check ice hockey official and for my national team coach love letter said the loss is appalling. it's hard even to talk about we've lost players in their prime but with a hard core of their national team i knew them very well even though they were

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 level million jobs new jobs just to get back to the pretty 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 might what's frustrating to 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 gets passed easily and quietly that surely leaves many americans really frustrated about their representatives. and while the public could make the case that obama's latest proposal is simply too expensive critics say there shouldn't be a price tag concerns when it comes to addressing america's unemployment that's according to richard escala senior fellow with the campaign for america's future

it's very very late in the game you know this country needs three things right now it needs jobs jobs and jobs don't mix. spending cuts with jobs just saying hey look i'm worried about spending right now this country is sick let's give it the medicine it needs to get better we'll worry about our medicine budget next week after we got the country better let's not complicate matters america you need work we're going to give it to you that's what i stand for if the other guys don't you decide who you like next november if the republicans don't vote for this and they probably won't then it's clear that they want to sell the country out for their electoral chances next year. meanwhile economic scuffles are also happening across the atlantic greece has given the banks and insurance and almost sixty countries until later today to decide whether they will accept its debt exchange offer athens has threatened to cut the deal unless it gets at least ninety percent participation
