somebody else was going to have an airport where people would gather on a day of mourning to commemorate those killed victims in monday's terror attack more details for yourselves to. terrorism is expected to grab the spotlight of the davos economic forum where russian president dmitry medvedev has to arrive for the opening speech after being delayed by the blast and airport. and breaking news here in our t.v. star decided russia's upper house of parliament votes to ratify the new groundbreaking strategic arms reduction deal with the u.s. reducing both the superpowers nuclear arsenals by over a third. quarter

ninety coming to live from moscow eleven am here on marina joshie welcome to the program and state flags have been lowered in moscow as the city mourns thirty five victims of monday's terrorist attack at russia's busiest airport people are flocking to the side of the blast to lay flowers and pay tribute to those who lost their lives and airports the explosion was russia's worst terrorist atrocity since twin bombings moscow's metro last march even though the official day of mourning is only being observed in moscow and the moscow region the effects of the blast have ripple throughout the whole country. was at the airport reports of course is the entire country that has come together in grief over this tragedy which occurred on monday afternoon of course to start with major channels and radio stations will change their broadcasting schedule there will be no interest payment programs they will try and cut down the commercials to a minimum but of course. it's not just the official side it's mostly people coming

together and being united in the face of grief we have to remember that most go that russia is a multinational multi confessional country and of course people of various nationalities and religious views are coming together they're flocking to dome addenda laying wreaths and flowers to the side of the ball the of course the side of the bombing itself the rival school is still cordoned off to people only those actually arriving to get access to it but people are still coming down and laying flowers in the departures hall where now they're forced to to gather with everybody that's trying to meet and greet those who are arriving that's where they're all standing right now and that's where they're bringing flowers too and of course this is very similar to the twin bombings that you mentioned back in march of two thousand and eight people were streaming down to moscow metro stations and laying flowers there for the duration of two weeks or so you have to understand that double jeddah is a far removed. airport from moscow so not everybody of course can make it down here

it's more than forty six gone there is the wait but still people are coming here and they have been coming here since monday and they're bringing flowers and they're paying tribute and moments of silence have been killed all across the country and at russia during the official gatherings as well we also know that u.s. ambassador john byerly will be stopping by the tell me head of the airport later today he will also be laying down flowers then we will talk to him hopefully to hear what his view on this tragedy is of course it's not just the flowers part of the commemoration that is taking place in the country people have been flocking to blood collect blood donation center is trying to do as much as they can to help those who need the blood transfusions at this point out of thirty five victims out of the thirty five dead in the blast at least twenty eight have been. by. densified

that is the official figure but there are some sources hoarse saying that at this point all of those dead have been identified and we do expect the funerals to start on thursday the blast happened at four thirty two pm in the arrivals hall the heart as i have mentioned earlier of the domodedovo airport that that point at least thirty flights were supposed to land so it was a very busy period when we got here at that point the the cavity has already kind of subsided but there was an immense police presence there were sniffer dogs as security services were on the spot survey is sort of it is serving the area they wanted to make sure there were no more bombs people were not can extract can but there was some sort of a very heavy mood in the air and my colleague sarah ferguson the details of what transpired immediately afterwards the blast on monday afternoon. the harrowing scenes from the moments the blast hits the days he witnessed the attack it's a memory that wayne's fate fussed. for sure she was.

upset when. the blast hit at peak time is around thirty flights with the two lands the moment st time to cool maximum devastation going. to something serious just come. closer to the start of our survey shows support. for the rewards for players who was achieving things straight from being a car part time to. get less than twenty four hours later and the end put is again fully operational it's a resilience that many people feel is a commendable trait of the russian people a term to get over their shoulders is exactly the sort of research would be here to talk to the situation as many p. . no less fighting for their lives in hospitals around people have rarely seen

eighteen blood and ensuring the victims and their families receive all the help they need president invaded found in no uncertain terms that days responsibly will be held accountable as investigators now work to establish exactly who is behind the attack the finger of blame his loose a little meat and transport there are scenes as you can imagine security measures have now been stepped up this message to take his words always mandatory they are and there are serious questions being asked as to why these extra measures weren't being implemented seen a punishment for what the president his security breaches could be just around the corner it's something that when it comes to terrorism the main weapon is the refusal to be intimidated operations may have returned to normal people still a tricky and active remembrance and a mark of respect for they lost their lives in the attack so. the

defense expert magnus ranstorp says down the security services need to employ more varied detection methods to prevent such tragedies it's a very soft target it's a high priority target as well for for terrorist because it is the main harbor of course the k'nex russia with with the rest of the world so i think it is interesting that there were warnings beforehand and whether they are true or not we have to see on the other hand it's a very difficult area to to secure entirely there has been a lot of discussion not just in russia but also elsewhere about security is becoming too predictable that the x. ray machines are not very effective possibly one of the more innovative ways is of course to to spot behavior to have a monitoring behavior. and the international community has collectively can down the terror attack in moscow and the western media ask come up with its own conclusions but many believe the us networks are not impartial in how they cover

terror attacks in russia compared with their own country as artie's marina porton i now reports. it was an explosion heard around the world a terrorist attack inside russia's dome idea the airport became an international story terrorism experts immediately suspected rebels from the russian province of chechnya analyst andrew cautioned says rebels in the northern caucasus region of russia from chechnya dagestan are fighting for an independent mostly islamic republic most u.s. reports were quick to conclude why that attacks took place when terrorism takes place in the united states and europe the terrorists are immediately represented there was absolute evil which of course they are but when it's russia the worse the media are willing to entertain causes justifications is there some reason the press or over at fox news hijacked the tragedy to garner support for us foreign policy

russians have themselves a serious islamic terrorist problem and it just won't go away he's going to help us in places like iran get more russian cooperation with afghanistan things like that are they going to wise up and help us a little bit iraq iran what does iran have to do with monday's deadly bombing in moscow russia i keep u.s. ally in the afghan war has remained a key player in the transshipment of goods to the war torn region a fact mr o'reilly neglected to mention in his view russia as bad because they don't automatically support the us in all of our foreign policy decisions so he's trying to use this manipulate this to anger his viewers to get them upset with russia other u.s. commentators didn't bother clarifying their facts they've recently taken their attacks into the heart of russia to transportation. cultural centers in moscow and elsewhere c.n.n. may not know that terrorist attacks in the heart of russia date back to one thousand nine hundred ninety nine but

a series of apartment bombings took place in moscow one of many reasons moscow was warning the u.s. about threats of islamic terrorists before nine eleven if this in fact was following monday's attack us media outlets flipped the fear mongering switch morning about a possible destabilization of the caucasus region and the price of oil the worldwide price of oil which is already high that's right would get even higher and as russian president dmitri medvedev prepare to head to the world economic forum in davos a fox talking head warned the world about more deadly attacks on the horizon i'm sure the terrorists are already in place in davos where they make an incident occur the swiss police who are thought of that is problematic but they've been there every year for the past several years and my guess is they'll try simply to have somebody within twenty four hours of the deadly bombings in moscow the mainstream media and the u.s. spy on the story in several different directions from fear to frantic analysis many

american reports failed to deliver the facts of a story or the investigation has only just begun. r.t. new york and blogger mark out of mana says the western media looks at the problems russia faces in the north caucasus but neglects to look at terrorist motivation when such attacks happen in their own countries. back a member in march last march when there were the bombings in the moscow metro i mean it was probably i wrote a couple pieces about it it was the double standards at work were pretty obvious and glaring. that's not to say that i think it's a good thing to do to look for reasons that these things occurred it's not to ever justify them i think it's pretty clear that these sorts of acts are justifiable but to try to understand why they occur and why these people are motivated the people it carries out are motivated to do them i think is very important and i think to a large extent the western media neglects to do that when there are problems that we face they're very willing to look at the problems that russia experiences in the

northern caucuses and to look at that pretty unsparingly. were less willing to do that for ourselves which i guess is not terribly surprising but is on the list true and to be true to that is to promote investment into russia's economy at the annual dallas forum in switzerland the president's visit will be shortened due to the attack on moscow's main airport and lower and it reports risks of terrorism and its economic threats are likely to be the most discussed issues at the summit. this is definitely a key moment for russia it really puts russia at the center of the world's most important meeting of business leaders and government ministers now ten to fifteen years ago if you look at attendance at davos it was mainly western leaders and western business people that came but now we've seen a trend more and more and that's continued schools of indians chinese there are sixty russians at the forum this year and fewer and fewer europeans in fact so not displays that the shifting balance of power in the world in this new world one

school can about where these bric economies are really taking over from your us isn't from your western european economies. it's also. his attention. that russia is open for business name to war happens and i'm closer to monday's terrorist attack. this is very bright but he will be in attendance to make this speech and that he's going to promote the knowledge of russia he's also going to talk about the. legislative an economic advances that russia has made and he's going to try to attract investment not brushing aside he says the difficulties and the flaws in the system. now i speak to some people about how the terror attack might affect how russia's economy is perceived in the world i can remember a terrorist attack so there are as well and it's very unfortunate but we keep going

like keeps going business keeps growing and i think they will be true for perception this initial for investment at the moment. i think they need to understand. the country is in control. of the situation one of the aims of this year is to create a risk response network a team of people from around the world who would code in. their response to what they perceive the risks of the future to be that talking about things like another economic meltdown a world food shortage but they'll also be talking about the global terror threats with emphasis on how every country is in this together. and ahead of the form of explain why he thinks douglas can bring positive results for the country and can watch the full interview next hour and here's a quick preview. from the government. it was very good. you don't even need to wear

a tie at the same time you can easily run into a major. major businessman a president or a prime minister grab them by the sleeve and ask about things but now it's an excuse to promote the knowledge of russia's capabilities strengths and advantages both in the spheres of economy and legislation by talking openly about them. and the russia us reach of arms reduction treaty known as start has been ratified by russia's upper teens are now approved by both houses of the russian parliament the treaty must be signed by president viet of our corresponding corpus going off as more from the federation council. following the leader of the state duma russia's federation council has also ratified the new strategic arms reduction treaty between moscow and washington frankly speaking it wasn't really a surprise since the treaty is backed by the political elite in russia and by both

president dmitry medvedev will still have to sign of the treaty and president barack obama who is already free of the stage decision on tuesday to ratify the agreement of russian deputies did make some special statements or recommendations first of all securing moscow's right to step out of the treaty if it feels threatened by a u.s. missile defense plans in europe and secondly they've outlined that similar recommendations made previously by the u.s. congress are none binding meaning the will do not really washington from its obligations previously the u.s. congress has secured washington's rights to modernize the remaining arms and has also claimed that the treaty should not obstruct america's missile defense plans but once again these statements on both sides are non binding meaning they will not affect the actual implementation of the agreement this will be the third such

treaty between moscow and washington the first two were signed back in one thousand nine hundred one and in one thousand nine hundred three with this latest one is meant to reduce the number of suited you go arms on each side by around one third which is surely a significant step forward in terms of both global security and the relations between the two countries. europe is going up there and polling well from the british american security information council says despite some disagreements over the text of the treaty it's an important confidence building move for russia and the us in the end it's the same treaty the same text and these interpretations i think both sounds as if they are contradictory but they are both accurate in the sense that there is clearly a link in the preamble of the treaty between defensive and offensive forces and. russian duma is quite correct point to the u.s.

senate has said that there is nothing legal preventing the americans from developing the france both the right the russians certainly have a right to withdraw from the treaty should should they deem their security to to be threatened. and these are points of fact of the treaty so it's not that they are ratifying two separate treaties the same treaty is there and in the end i think it's quite right to say that this is the first step in a very long process of confidence building and he said. but then take a look at some other stories from around the world and u.s. president barack obama drew on the russians for ation to try to galvanize the u.s. economy into action he referred to the sputnik moment when the russian satellite spurred america on to boosting its technology know how through the space race in his first speech to a divided congress obama said the science and research sectors are key to tackling the country's crushing debt in an address seen as marking the start of his two

a government ruled by his bar on diplomacy inside and outside the country. this government is much more representative than its predecessor it is the months of hell of the christian community with hezbollah which represents forty percent of global moon's population. look there hasn't been a census since nine hundred thirty two but most people would say the figure is clues to forty percent. so with half the christians without drew's the way over the fifty five percent well tony you say not true or not true what you will see i think is total nonsense and you know it's not going to give you are going to be doing as well as your side their side the facts i think the numbers there are numbers that does affect the cia i don't see these are annoyed that attack twenty nine percent and if anything the sun is out and i mean if you and i go over them and you know this but you know it's really the study of the demographic studies of. the fact is
