if somebody else goes doesn't it have an airport where people gather on the day of mourning to commemorate those who filled victims in monday's terror attacks more details for your existence. and terrorism is expected to grab the spotlight of the davos economic forum where russian president medvedev is to arrive for the opening speech after being delayed by the blast and demand. star decided russia's upper house of parliament votes to ratify the new groundbreaking strategic arms reduction deal with the u.s. reducing both superpowers nuclear arsenals by over a third. party coming to you live from moscow

a marina joshua 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 a blast away flowers and pay tribute to those who lost their lives and the explosion was russia's worst terrorist atrocity since twin bombings rocked moscow's metro last march even though the official day of mourning is only being observed in moscow and a mosque in a region the effects of the blast have ripple throughout the whole country as our. airports 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 that will try and cut down the commercials to the 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 the magenta laying wreaths and flowers to the side of the ball the of course the side of the bombing itself the rival's hall 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 to it and of course this is very similar to the twin bombings 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 kilometers away 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 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. identified that is the official figure but there are some. source of course 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 point at least thirty flights were supposed to land so it was a very busy period when we got here at that point the decal because already kind of subsided but there was an immense police presence there were sniffer dogs and

security services people 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 apparent extra 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 name and the blast hits for those who witnessed the attack it's a memory that wayne's fate fust came running to for sure she was. absent when. the blast hit at peak time is around thirty flights hoochie to land the bomb it seems time to cool is max and then devastation going. to something more serious just come pretty close to the start

paralyzation sort of wake up or go to a really was first place there was achievement when you train for a big part of your part time to a very significant. yet 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 at the russian people a term to get on with our social lives is exactly the sort of answer to the future dr situation as many people are now left fighting for their lives in hospice. people have rallied donating blood and ensuring the victims and their families receive all the help they need president medvedev found in no uncertain terms that those responsible will be held accountable as investigators now work to establish exactly who is behind the attack the finger of blame his own safety. and transport . as you can imagine security measures have now been stepped. to take his words

always mandatory they are and there are serious questions being asked as to why these extreme measures were being implemented seen punishments for what the president has security breaches p.-p. just around the corner some feel that when it comes to terrorism the main weapon is the refusal to be intimidated operations may have returned to normal people relate an act of remembrance and a mark of respect they lost their lives in the attack so artsy. and tax bird magnus ranstorp says that the security services need to employ more very 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 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. to secure entirely there has been a lot of discussion not just in russia but also elsewhere that 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 support behavior to have monitoring behavior. and the international community has collectively can down the terror attack in moscow and the western media has come up with its own conclusions but many believe the u.s. networks are not impartial in how they cover terror attacks in russia compared within their own country as artie's marina partner 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 the attacks took place when terrorism takes place in the united states and europe the terrorists are immediately represented there was absolute which is which of course they are but when it's russia their western media are willing to entertain causes justifications is there some reason they are pressed or over at fox news hijacked the tragedy to garner support for u.s. 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 to 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 key 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 high. absent cultural centers in moscow and elsewhere c.n.n. may not know that terrorist attacks in the heart of russia date back to 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 this was police who are thought of that is problematic what they've been there every year for the past several years and my guess is they'll simply have somebody to work 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 fail to deliver the facts of a story where the investigation has only just begun or in a port nial r.t. new york. blogger mark a damn honest 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 the wrong 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 there are very willing to look at the problems that russia experiences in 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 to be true would be out of this to promote investment into russia's economy at the annual davos forum in switzerland the president's visit will be shortened due to the attack on moscow's main airport and lore and it reports risks of terrorism and its economic threats are likely to be the most discussed issues at this summit.

this is definitely a key moment for russia it really puts russia at the center of this the world's most important meeting of business leaders and government ministers now ten's of fifteen years ago if you look. 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 india chinese there are sixty russians at the forum this year and fewer and fewer europeans in fact and that displays the shifting balance of power in the world in this new world one school in 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 after war happens and i'm course referring to monday's terror attack. on his

a rival 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. 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 terrorist attacks so there are as well and it's very unfortunate but we keep going keep going business keeps growing and i think. the perception. for investment at the moment. i think the need to understand. the countries. is this is one of the aims of this year is to create a risk response network a team of people from around the world who would cogent. 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 as laurie am reporting there now had of the four and we're trying to get of explain why he thinks davos could bring positive results for the country and watch the full interview in about fifteen minutes time here's a quick preview. when i worked in the government. it was very good it's in so you don't even need to wear a tie at the same time you can easily run into a major or not so 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 the economy and legislation by talking openly about.

the russian u.s. or dziedzic arms reduction treaty known as start has been ratified by russia's opera chamber and now approved by both houses of the russian parliament the treaty must be signed by president putin our correspondent is going off has 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's already praised the stay dumas the decision on tuesday to ratify the agreement 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 v 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 strategic 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. they are now polling grown 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. 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 the u.s. senate has said that those nothing illegal preventing the americans from developing the friends. the right the russians certainly have a right to withdraw from the treaty should should they deem their security to be threatened. and these are points of fact of the treaty so it's not that they are

ratifying two separate treaty was the same treaty is that in the end i think it's quite right to say that this is the first step you know you know a very long process of confidence building every so. now let's take a look at some other stories from around the world and you ask for every day and barack obama drawing russian inspiration 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 centers are key to tackling the country's crushing debt in an address as marking the start of using twenty twelve reelection campaign. people have been killed as thousands took to the streets of egypt in its biggest anti-government protest in years the largest rallies gathered in cairo where demonstrators chanted slogans against president hosni mubarak's authoritarian rule and rest is inspired by the recent uprising in tunisia and fueled by growing diskin. tanned egypt's grinding poverty and

unemployment. a guantanamo detainee has been sentenced to life in prison over the bombing of two u.s. embassies in africa nine hundred ninety eight the judge rejected ahmed ghailani pleas for leniency saying the deaths and damage caused wait his insistence he did not intend to kill anyone and have been forced into it two hundred twenty four people died and thousands were injured in the twin attacks in kenya and tanzania and this is the first one ton of a detainee to have a civilian trial on u.s. soil. well day to day we strive for creature comforts bugs those affected most when we throw them out are often forgotten by doubt who really is paying the price for our consumer culture coming up in just over an hour in our special report.

and time now for a business of day with helium. hello

and welcome to the latest market news it's the time of the year for the big cheeses of business and politics to mix in the swiss ski resort of dollars but while the bankers are cherry their attention profits the causes has left a sour taste in the mouth for ordinary people a correspondent daniel bushell is there for business r.t. . president obama thinks the world economy was brought down by greed insatiable bankers blew holes in business forcing three years of belt tightening bread and water from the rest of us but now greed is back here in davos the head of coca-cola work talk aims toasting the start of a decade of a precedented glow. growth in the top restaurants tycoons once again in talks at the table hungry for

a piece of the action from firms melted away and liquidity has returned to the markets leaving rich pickings for the brave but experts warn take too much to force and all in the just problems will come back this will be the key theme of the world economic forum over the next five days how to grow the opportunities but not overindulge. to mitcham it very well give the opening address in davos spot the president will shorten his stage of the book attack on moscow's main international airport on monday despite the tragedy of wrong national veron a capital believes that about it has good reason to deliver an upbeat message about russia i think for the first time a russian leader is going to divorce with a lot of positive material behind him so when president gets up and speaks of battles it will be on the back of the pepsi deal at the end of last year three

point eight billion dollars the b.p. rosneft deal at the beginning of this year opening the first pipeline into china on the first of january there's a lot of really good material he should be arguing for size the opportunities that exist for investing into russia and that gives him a great platform to go out there and deliver a strong message about why the west should be investing into russian. dolls will also hold lessons for russia i think out of love from alpha buying says there's a chance to assess the global risks to growth. the first question i think is how sustainable is the current recovery of the global commodity prices because unfortunately russia is still a very big oil play and we have just to to take this into account and i think the second question is that from the house staying there will be economic recovery in the u.s. and in europe and also i think now will have all the concerns of all this sustainability all the that servicing the very big conferences and we have to remember the crush

is the whole goal of the large central bank reserves so deafened you know one of the strategic interests for russia's to understand what will be the european countries and the best friend to jane so the same as that said that the legation. investors building secure resorts in the north caucuses will be exempt of almost all taxes it's part of a plan by president richard votive to attract capital while he's visiting the world economic forum for the resorts need to up to fifteen billion dollars in finance the government will invest about two billion dollars and wants to raise the rest from local and foreign investors over the first ten years investors will be free of all taxes except. the project which is ninety eight percent stage controlled is expected to be completed by twenty twenty. ok time now to have a look at some figures european markets are high in early trade taking their lead from asia and the us. president obama called for

a small correction from here but overall the market is wood investors coming back slowly and oil sector is the hottest one at the moment. and inflation is unlikely to fall within the russian government's target range of six to seven percent this year but prices could moderate in the near future that's according to the president of the g twenty for sale bank. main reasons for not only food prices schalke started last autumn but also. in terms of sort of russian monopolist but fiscal consolidation and tough monetary policy after maybe march april bangle for russian government would cut in new rate of inflation from let's say ten to.
