are victims of monday's suicide bomb attack as people gather adama dead ever to pay tribute to the thirty five killed. years of those sort of sure those who committed this terrible targeting citizens of different countries expected their actions to bring russia to its leaders but they thought. that was the key message of russian president dmitri medvedev as he gave the opening speech for a more in just a moment. and russia's upper house of parliament unanimously ratifies the new nuclear reduction deal with the u.s. that will see each nation's warheads reduced by a third. from

russia and around the world this is. in moscow state flags all across the region to mourn the victims of monday's suicide bombing at russia's busiest airport people have been gathering the signs of the day with that of a blast to pay that last respects to those who died r.t. surface has more. the flights in most cases lie half must larking a day of mourning people turn outs done a day to the airport to pay tribute to the thirty five people he died in monday's terror attack. there is frustration i came here specially this situation has really affected me. that everyone's grieving no one's left indifferent to this tragedy the blast went off in the international arrivals area at peak time the ship no packed explosive seemingly designed to cause maximum and devastation. my first thought was to get away

a lot of people willing motionless even more people were being piled up near the first aid area some well ready dead they were dragged away a horrible picture so. i looked at my watch and then flash and i passed out when i woke up there was a ringing in my ears it was a sour smell everything in ash is everyone is groaning real full men were piled up on top of me the one directly above me was wounded in the chest you took all the shrapnel. and it's not just russia that's been affected people have many nationalities were among the dead and wounded the american ambassador was among those paying their respects these flowers are just my expression on behalf of people who are solid already with the russian people today. want to. bring together with the families the faster. than words for us in our solidarity

the russian people the russian government there be no referee or monster or people carrying out an attack like. commemorative services have been held across the country but they've president medvedev and prime minister peace in attending the charge a day uniting people of every faith. i could have lost my brother i want them to be part of. the reaction from the kremlin has been fierce president has vowed that responsible will be held accountable and has a vested gaiters now work to establish exactly who is behind the attack the fingers blame has also on the airports and the chance. already there have been officials with more expected to come as the country looks to tyson its security defenses in the aftermath of the attack people have rallied dating blood at hospitals and

ensuring the victims and their families receive all the help they need it admits the child has tried to stand united in its refusal to be intimidated people. and acting for members and respect their lives in the attack. russia's prime minister says the suicide bombing which killed thirty five is not linked to chechnya based terrorist here's what vladimir putin told reporters when usually. early results of the investigation suggest this terror attack has nothing to do with the chechen republic and we will not negotiate with any terrorists not a single country in the world the respect. that's common international practice. chechen president says the west is always trying to create a negative image of chechnya. it's always this way there are always in

the entire world the caucus is a place where there is no order and people are ready to kill anyone as a murder. people as criminals through the international community that's the way politics it's always been so they want. regions. petersburg another regions to treat us with apprehension that i do not want to let our society consolidate and russia but sturdy politics once a terrorist happens to be from the caucasus why are there always underlying that in public opinion has russian a new way all russian citizens the caucasus belongs to russia where citizens of the russian federation as well as the others why are we always separated from russia if one comes from the caucuses and appears to be a terrorist then he turns into a common enemy and he has to be arrested or eliminated we're all doing it day in

and day out i've lost everything fighting against extremism to put everything in order in our country and we will continue doing so we can assist the americans in this they have huge problems with that in iraq and afghanistan and they do not display their fear but interfere with our. well there is international newspapers have also been quoting sources suggesting the attack on doma that it may have been planned outside of russia and also has got a chicken is in washington d.c. it looks at how the tragedies being reported in the west. security experts and investigative journalist have started looking into where these terrorists confound the telegraph and other media outlets say the bombers who carried out the moscow attack were thought to be part of a suicide squad training pakistan's all qaeda strongholds that were sent to the capital to target the city's transport system many security experts believe that terrorist groups operating in russia do get funding from abroad some of their members are known to have been trained abroad and also

a fact here the new york state police the new york police department has sent people to moscow to learn about the attack which could help them prevent a similar tragedy here in the united states so if you think about it this really was an act of international terrorism attack the busiest international airport in washington the terrorist clearly knew that not only washington nationals are going to suffer everyone is talking about terrorism is a common threat and that they are a national community has stood by the together word them sympathy and solidarity were coming from all over the world but the rhetoric hasn't always been like this for a long time the west would see that terrible things that terrorists had done in russia as part of some rebel separatist movement but now it's very much clear to everyone that these thugs are a threat to the whole of the international community and that their actions cannot be justified by anything but again it took the west a while to realize. what is going to change on reporting from washington d.c.

we're getting some news just in here that at least three people have been killed and six others injured in a car bomb attack in russia's republic of the device detonated outside a cafe in the town of house a view of the second largest city in the republic investigators not working at the scene and of course we'll keep you updated on the story as we get more details from august. well the terrorism has been in the spotlight at the world economic forum in davos in switzerland and in his opening keynote speech the need to move at the moscow airport bombers wanted to intimidate russia but it once again failed and it's the first time russia has been represented at the forum by its leader well the visit will be shorter than planned due to monday's attack on done with. the war and it is in davos and she has the details. of course he started by talking about the terror attack on monday at the other airports in fact klaus schwab who introduced him the head of the world economic forum asked everyone to stand on their feet and observe a minute's silence in honor of the victims then met at

a started to talk about the attack and he said that they all felt the pain of loss but it had strengthened the world's resolve to combat this international threat of terror that we see society it spreads indignation throughout the world and he again thanks leaders of other governments who had sent him messages of condolence but there was also element of defiance in what he said he said that the terrorists expected that this would make him cancel his trip to davos and missed this appearance in front of the world to promote russia but in fact it did nothing of the so let's hear what he said about that. here's rick dorsey were sure those who committed this terrible act targeting citizens of different countries expected their actions to bring russia to its knees but they thought. russia was aware of its place in the world russia will fulfill its obligations towards its citizens and the world community unfortunately you know state in the world is immune to terrorism terrorist attacks like this one in russia unfortunately can happen any

time anywhere in the world there is no universal remedy against this evil even the one thing we can say for sure our success in battling this threat very much depends on solidarity and he did understandably spend quite a lot of time on that about five minutes of what was only a twenty minute speech but he did then move on to talk about various other things. including environmental issues he mentioned how the world really is only one step away from a major environmental disaster that could bring us to her to our knees he was talking about incidents like the icelandic volcano which stopped flights in europe he was talking about the extreme heat. wave this summer which caused just forest fires and he said that russia was proposing an early warning system to deal with monitoring those kinds of threats so that we would know before they happened that they were coming he also talked about the recent ratification in the russian government of the start treaty he said that was an extremely optimistic moment and

he said that people all over the world will be breathing a sigh of relief about nuclear weapons in that case he also mentioned wiki leaks he said that he himself had read the wiki leaks cables about russia that had been released and he said there was nothing really new there that the majority of it could it seems have come from open source says let's hear what he had to say about that should be issued alternately i think that we could issue should make the spirit of international relations healthier even though some states consider this an illegal activity the impact of this story is quite positive as for what was leaked some may find it interesting to others it's no secret as for me what i've read about russia would be nothing new to me there was a humble note in his speech as well he recognized that russia has been criticized by western governments and by the media and he also wanted to point out that russia has made advances in terms of legislation corporate governance the application of the rule of law and corruption but there is still a lot more work to do. we're in it talking to be

a little earlier from davos there in switzerland and there will be bringing the highlights of dmitri medvedev speech in around twenty minutes from now here on r.t. . the nuclear cuts treaty between russia and the u.s. in a start has been ratified by russia's federation council the deal would slash both country's nuclear arsenals by around a third now approved by both houses of russia's parliament the treaty must be signed by president veto correspondent you don't get off hands the details. everything happened very quickly just on tuesday they stay duma ratified the treaty now the federation council has unanimously voted for the ratification of the treaty which means that both chambers also tallman have now supported education it's also backed by both president who is sitting now he can now signed a treaty and president barack obama would lead in both monitoring the way ratification has been going in fact on tuesday barack obama praised the state decision to ratify the deal previously were able to speak to the chairman of the

federation council's committee for international affairs who also took part in the a long running negotiations may come out of the elephant he says that this is a significant step forward in the relations between moscow and washington we managed to successfully through the us senate. so-called wanted three agreement on the russian american cup ration and the nuclear field i mean the peaceful part of it. that is concerned we also moving forward on the russians w t o accession america is very supportive we are moving relatively fast and i think that two thousand and eleven will be the year of russia's w t o accession after that american partners will have to do their part of their work repealing the so-called jackson very commandment which is one of the

dinosaurs of. the time of the cold war. but it's not enough we have to have more time as we have to have more docking mechanisms we have to have more bridges the more dependent we are the better it is for the future third such agreement between the two countries the first two were signed back in one thousand nine hundred one and in one thousand nine hundred three with the slate. one is meant to reduce the number of strategic weapons on both sides by over one third so it's significant for global security 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 free 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 these statements on both sides are non binding meaning they will not affect the actual implementation of the agreement. and i spoke to joel rubin deputy director and c.e.o. of the national security network he says that the new start treaty is a big step towards global security. it's very beneficial to all involved the u.s. and russia have now fully engaged in the restart of the relationship and put substance behind it a lot of good rhetoric over the last year and a half now we actually have an agreement a bipartisan agreement from capitol hill also is a very unique moment and so we see an american russian consensus around the key issue of. security for both countries there's a clear interest in moving past the cold war and security threats are dynamic now

we have terrorism and as you noted the in moscow monday these these threats coming from a very long arm potentially from countries outside of nato and outside of europe the hope is that this will create a new dynamic and create new opportunities now that everyone who cares about arms control and is looking at nuclear weapons as a serious issue sees that the u.s. and russia can make progress it does give an opportunity for new thinking about how dangerous this in two thousand and eleven. till now for a brief look at other major headlines from around the world at this stage in the world. government rots in egypt to seen protests through full albums and government buildings and. eight hundred sixty people have been detained in the clashes and that some of them would face charges for taking part in protests the president's immediate family reports of flooding to the duke a rest comes against a backdrop of growing anger over rampant poverty and unemployment. has been up

backed prime minister of lebanon has begun to form his cabinet following two days of protests thousands of sunni muslims pulled on to the streets. and accusing the militant group that could be in this to unify lebanon's society has been on its own eyes ousted the previous government two weeks ago when they quit. well then back to the russian president's opening speech. economic forum in davos addressing the world and business leaders dmitry medvedev talked about terrorism and a wide range of other issues from the importance of the nuclear cuts treaty with the u.s. to the impact of wiki leaks disclosures on international relations well look the full speech is available on our website that's r.t. dot com but next as promised we bring you an extract of this address.

this but do mr schwab. lose in chandan. because indeed the day before yesterday. in moscow at an international don't get your poor to turn to was committed in your shoes review to your lives of dozens of innocent people. if you look at it and you know of scissors and software

is countries from victim to terry stacked citizen of russia united kingdom to trickiest on ukraine germany austria. was biggest on. to be sure more than one hundred persons were injured they are now at hospital but their tragedy but we engage the entire russian society. although our country. even in the past or subjected. to tears that act caused indignation throughout civilized the world i received numerous messages telegrams from your columns from the leaders of foreign states leaders of international organizations expressing their condolences and solidarity i am grateful believe for they can

downsize and for the words i've just heard from you and from other put his opponents in the form. got to be together we mourn the loss of life. bullet. pain from the loss of human lives of course will stay in our hearts for long. but what appears to have been the only strengthened our resolve to find an effective protection against international terror and i believe this to be of poor sure those who committed that heinous act by aiming their little games the citizens of various countries not expected that their act would bring russia to its knees if it were any force to be defensive or should they expected and hoped

but if their president the pressure will not come here to eternity for among other things of course even the release. of the criteria used to choose which of the time and place for committing that act of terrorism but they miscalculated. russia is aware of its place in your worry that russia. aware of its responsibilities to its citizens i mean will comply with. its responsibility to the world community and this is the reason why. on this day i'm speaking from this ross from here it is look if terrorism negates the most important thing which is the value of human life. or. any rights and freedoms. i wouldn't give it no matter

what i do a logical russian r.p.s. it generates fear and hatred for you it. is an obstacle it through. their first world this situation is also dramatic the at the terrorist acts in a cardinal way disrupt the normal life the normal occurrence of flushing and three such acts very often force us to take very tough decisions. those terrorists acts radical change their way of thinking not those who fall victims but also with a way of thinking all for everyone living on the planet but unfortunately no state in the world is immune to terrorism their relatives such charity stags like the one that. it has just happened in russia unfortunately not for the first

time can happen at any time and attending a place in the world no one is immune to that today. yes there are no universal recipe to combat that evil war but if you know one fan one thing it can be. in a definitive way. but with you our success in countering this common thread depends very much on our solidarity and concerted action because particularly during the period when globalization has made old world much more into depend on you then it was some time a girl and you have to say it didn't happen son build upon our efforts you know your choice and it's the struggle against syria and we have to do all i want him to influence if not the ideology of these social and economic roots of terrorism poverty unemployment illiteracy talentless in

a secure and you have to ensure that global development is stable so you've just unfair once again let me think sincerely thank you for them and after station of your feelings. when you would go up is conducted with during the time when many tend to speak of the end of the world financial crisis but at the same time it's quite obvious that it is not all that simple to do it with a period of extreme rapid development which. has resulted in many people becoming euphoric that is the but the crisis has sold out. everyone but we have coped with the. with only one part all of the decisions from solve the crisis in the region and so on far we have not found any model for growth and the economic development therefore is bound to be slower than the would like it to be

but at the same time we have learned serious lessons not only from the economic critics perience from the president those who is. technologically is well developed at least if you compare it with what it was like one hundred and two hundred years ago one natural disaster or technological mistake would be enough for entire reasons to be brought through the brain or environmental catastrophe and continents would be cut off from each other as in previous centuries directional can no innocent and. major on oil. in the gulf of mexico and then analysts here it in russia last year. catastrophic floods snowfalls that have been in the areas corners of the world all these things make us think once again once again about difficulty of if with people power on

earth i believe that prompts for the procrastination would be dangerous and the thing is not only. have. long lasting climate talks although that must be done by all means what is it issues also. the establishment or common monitoring system for the environment and hazardous facilities and a common system for early warning and if there alleviation of emergencies russia has advanced that initiative and i hope that all the partners to will agree that this question is a long overdue. to do we need very much new ideas capable of changing the world for the better ideas that will be acquired a force of requirements to practical policy and would be a standard for states for the business for public development and evolutions

between countries speaking all of security russia sometime legal. speed. proposals for concluding a new treaty on european security and i believe that such topics can be discussed everywhere that would be useful including here at the economic forum and with their views today the actions by politicians in international relations and the principles of settlement electing to be high and evermore like him behind the technical logical developments at the same time some politicians some people continue to leave by the phantoms of the cold war stereotypes of the war and they are carried away by primitive patients for some patients but even though you during this particular time you create the mind of almost one billion people let us think

it was. a using social network. for the first time in the history of mankind. millennium long. history people are communicating with each other directly being located on various continents and this is mind boggling indeed present the world is ever becoming is becoming increasingly. borders and barriers are explained as thanks to internet people yes united and they are united by a single cause or a single idea and no national government can claim to have falls in monkton full degree of influence from such communities perhaps that's for the better.

the close up team has been to the arms to return to the land developed by cossacks in ancient times. now wattie goes to the center of russian defense production. with christianity and shamanism existed side by side for centuries. people in remote villages a cut off from the basics we take for granted the complete lukian republic russia close up on r.t. . culture is that so much open to a huge percentage of her mind that when a country in turmoil a country divided lebanon faces the prospect of a government controlled by hezbollah will lebanon's democratic.
