russia's commerce newspaper says police have named the first suspect behind a terror attack at the airport a russian resident of the southern stopper paul region one of the organizers or even a perpetrator of monday's attack the blast of the airport's arrival zone comes a less than a year after the two suicide bombers from the north caucasus trough of moscow's metro the russian government however says the latest attack is not linked to chechnya based terrorists or to sara furthest keeping us across the elements from to monday at every airport. the latest information we have for. being a possible suspect named for the russian region in connection with that attack now that's an unofficial at the moment but what we do know is that the investigate is that managed to find the body of the suicide of an analyst to be looking at an image of the head of that body. it's not personal for.

the public but for southern european or arabic origin now this is despite claims that we've heard in the western media was very quick to do appreciate pointing to the attack being carried out by some from the north caucasus now when the most came much evolving as happened a terrorist group from the north caucasus claimed responsibility within a matter of days and this a type what we've seen is a difference no no one's claimed responsibility yet and the response from russia was not to point any fingers but the western media did just that with very little facts we can head now from the head of the chechen republic he says that the international community does have a tendency to act in this manner so. it's always this way they're always in a hurry to told the entire world that the caucus is a place where there is no order and people are ready to kill anyone who are all murderers and terrorists who present. people as criminals to the international

community that's the way they're making their policy. gates is still working to try and identify just exactly he. was and we seen international condemnation of this attack and we have president of it is saying that this is really now needing the international community to unite and to stand together and fight against what is clearly a global threat as well yesterday here at the airport for the day of mourning we had lots of people turning up to pay tribute to the victims and the people who were involved in the attack on monday they were laying flowers inside the airport and there were candles lit and we saw the american ambassador present the prime minister putin also attended services around the country we saw many many different sides really united all the religions everyone everyone stools of course with the families and friends died in the attack thirty five people dead many more still in . hospital recovering many of them

a serious condition now today in the hearts of most be having a gathering to commemorate the people who were involved in that attack and that's going to be lots of people turning out to know what we have seen as close as the investigation continues the president the date of taking serious action on the was that he said mediately off to the attack he promised results and he is delivering that he thought he fired a number of top officials within the interior ministry involved in child we know that it sounds good enough it's a big place this investigation said that that playing and that working out established exactly he was involved in this and most of the counts. to an american the fancy analyst and author explains why russia is becoming a frequent target for islamist terrorists these people may have been trained in pakistan and the al qaeda areas the problem that you have with those areas is there are many groups that are there and they all have different causes that they are

fighting it seems like all these people are islamised what we generally call islamist but they are they often have separate goals and usually groups have a specific target in mind they've done studies on suicide bombings and this technique is often used against democracies to try to get them to withdraw from various areas now if russia got more heavily involved in afghanistan in the region again of course you might see some of the groups there. go against russia it has to do with the main reason that al qaeda attacks the united states because it. meddles in the muslim world they know who they're targeting what country they're targeting and they know why they're targeting and they're just not crazy. and yet another terrorist attack this time in russia's north caucasus republic of dagestan it's killed four civilians and left six injured the device detonated in a car parked outside a cafe in the town of hayes of you are the second largest city in the republic the explosion was equivalent of thirty kilograms of t.n.t.

that's the second car bomb explosion in the city in the past two weeks after the bombing has devastated airport nato and russia have vowed to work together to fight terrorism r.t. spoke to nato military committee chairman admiral deepal says the fight against terrorism remains a top priority we were already agreed that. the fight against terrorism is one of the mean in iraq operation the need to rush a worker program what happened in the monday is an even more and other witnesses to the ins and so easy increasing our the tour together to fight terror because steerage as no like the is no call of terrorism is still a food store and we need to work together to country to win it that's what we have to do all the international community together. following the ratification of the strategic arms reduction treaty by moscow and washington russian nato's top

military officials met to discuss joint missile the fans in new york the two agreed in lisbon last november how to cooperate in the creation of the system the chief of the general staff and i'm a card says there should be a clear understanding of the outcome of the project. which is good enough building missile defense systems in europe is complicated because it affects the global stability reached through the new start treaty the russian proposals have unfortunately not been mit's with full understanding. to see just building the systems stage by stage logical and acceptable for us we must understand what russia's final role in building missile defense systems is just like nato in the us said we should stop to analyze all the threats and challenges and to understand how we'll cooperate this gives us confidence that we'll be building those missile defense systems together if not the consequences will be disastrous. israel's national holocaust museum and search giant google have announced

a joint project on nazi era archives and more than one hundred thousand photos and documents from the museum will now be available online this comes as the world marks international holocaust remembrance day on the twenty seventh of january on this day nine hundred forty five the largest of the nazi concentration camps auschwitz birkenau was liberated by the soviet army and it's estimated around six million jews were murdered by the nazi regime in europe even today some questions remain unanswered over what exactly took place during the nazi occupation of poland its history professor john groves explains. what happened however all over occupied europe in the territories that the germans have invaded is that the local population was. being local population got the wrong end of that. process of persecution in the benefit but clearly from it and. was

a reluctant to give shelter to jews who were trying to avoid the german network but seems to me that and they said it isn't was a fairly well ingrained element of people's world outlook at the time and see. to say first of all that jews are. evil and they should be isolated and things should be taken away from them this was this was a kind of a set of slogans which local people have accepted with. the interest so to speak and then slowly they were drawn into assisting in various ways in the process of round up and occasionally unfortunately also in our souls and even killings that were especially in the east there was actually a directive from. the police chief at the time. to invite the local population to be active in acts

of programs and killings of the jews and unfortunately there was quite a response at that time. terror threats preventing manmade disasters and we leaks revelations the first day of the world economic forum in davos has taken an unexpected course after the russian president's opening speech we have crossed live . for us you are now why did the president say. well it was a speech that began with an introduction by the head of the world that can our economic forum klaus schwab he introduced president medvedev and he asked the audience to stand and observe a minute's silence in memory of the victims of monday's blast ports and that set the tone certainly for the beginning of the speech president medvedev talked about that terror attack he gave he thanked the leaders and others who had sent condolences to him and to his country and he said that the pain that they're

feeling you're feeling in russia now strengthens international resolve to fight a common fight against terror and he also had some quite defiant words for the terrorists and for the gathered all. those who committed this terrible targeting citizens of different countries expected their actions to bring russia to italy and they thought. russia was aware of its place in the world russia will fulfill its obligations towards its citizens and the world community unfortunately as 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 success in battling this very much depends on solidarity. that terror attack was certainly the top line of his speech and it's

obviously the upper most thing in his mind but he also talked about other things environmental issues he said that we're just one natural disaster away from essentially complete meltdown he's talking about events like the icelandic volcano erupting that stopped flights in europe and the extreme hate that you experienced in moscow last summer which caused all those forest fires so russia is proposing an early warning system an international network of early warning systems that can predict those kinds of natural disasters so that they'll be more easily dealt with he also talked about the rescue case in recently by the russian government of the start treaty said that was an optimistic moment and the world would have breathed a sigh of relief at that nuclear step forward he also mentioned wiki leaks he said that he had read the cables that wiki leaks had released about russia and essentially there was nothing new there they could have come from open sources let's hear that. should be a should also look at it and i think the wiki leaks issue should make the spirit of international relations feel fear even though some states consider this an illegal

activity and the impact of this story is going to causative 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 has been nothing new to me. or it's a laura one will be happening at the summit today. well today is the first full day and there's going to be a huge range of meetings as is usual. both the business the economic the governmental and the cultural having a session on africa's natural resources globalization talking about the next potential shock to the global economy and to also eurozone survival see a huge range of issues but one of the most important sessions of today is a session entitled russia is next steps to modernize a ship that was supposed to be attended by president medvedev but of course he has now returned to moscow to deal with the aftermath of that suicide attack on monday

cities in america just about everyone at some point has stopped in for breakfast served twenty four hours a day. at the waffle house this one in dumfries virginia draws in truck drivers and teachers and even high school students like fernando where to who are just eighteen years old criticizes the government for focusing so many of its resources outside of the country i don't think we should be too worried about other nations right now like i don't like i mean i know there's big catastrophes like haiti and stuff that do need help but i don't think that's shouldn't even be in the top twenty of our list of concerns. the concerns of the country were highlighted in president obama's state of the union address tuesday night where he also highlighted progress two years after the worst recession most of us have ever know the stock market has come warring but corporate profits are up the economy is growing again it's

a claim julie warner doesn't totally agree with we need to get our jobs back i mean we're the economy has not been stimulated like it said for the average person the suffering goes on to have several college degree family members with no jobs they've been laid off. want to have the house foreclosed we decided to travel a little further down the road to the grayson village mobile home park people we met here describe themselves as ordinary americans it's just about thirty miles outside of washington d.c. but in many. way remember all that here's where we met robert allen who lives here with his wife barbara and father in law irving watkins he says many people at his own company lost their jobs their health insurance and their hope he says congress should stop propping up the banks and stop spending money on wars they ought to look at their own people for. but tax money is made in america that's been in

a lot of if not made in other countries so it should be here first take you before you take somebody. at the state of the union address in light of the deadly shootings in tucson arizona many republicans and democrats opted to sit together instead of in different sections what comes of this moment is up to us what comes of this moment will be determined not by whether we can sit together tonight but whether we can work together tomorrow. what's the likelihood of that happening anything when something happens everyone comes together and we're going to do the moment we hang out together we love each other but then next week the fight over health care. it's like taking a kid and put him in a candy shop. be good give me some candy that's what it looks like to me

you put him there just put in the eye and the madi be kicking at each other again for americans like this the words are a start that our future is hopeful. our journey goes forward but the action still seems a long way off reporting in dumfries virginia christine for example. god bless. and i will take a look at some other stories from around the world and twenty one workers have killed in a colombia in colombia in a deadly coal mine explosion rescue teams had no initial access to the victims due to rock collapse officials suspect the explosion is widely to have been caused by a build up of me saying a similar blast occurred in the same mine four years ago killing thirty two people . in japan have raised the alert level as well kato in southern japan continues to spew smoke and ash residents are banned from getting within

hello and a very warm welcome to the business program and of course all eyes are on the n.l. governing offer world economic forum in davos the economy was central to president medvedev opening speech to the forum he said russia is already taken steps to make its economy more attractive to investors and he outlined a range of issues that he said will broaden the country's industrial base one of the key points is a message sale of state assets what cheney hopes will stimulate better management. look to him as a suitable i have an issue it is an unprecedented program of privatization of large state owned companies over the next three years large stakes in the banking infrastructure and energy sectors will be privatized for the overall sum of tens of

billions of dollars city it is not the state budget we care about you get on with it improving the efficiency of companies and the business environment has. emerged with you and business. was of the form in dollars and he listened to the speech of the president and tells us how it was received by the international audience. in the home where the president of russia dmitry medvedev was speaking there was a sense of a new start in russia u.s. business relations american business leaders listening were nodding and one even said to me that medvedev gets business in a way that barack obama does not the president of america of course under fire in some quarters back home for his perceived lack of understanding of business president very fairly high on this and many of the key themes that are being expressed throughout that last for instance here this week one is the push towards a new green way of doing business no longer is it enough to pander only to the

shareholders and the bottom line the president said it's very important for business to take care of the environment and also make that at the forefront of the way it does business and third and finally russia hitched the way it does business to the rest of europe saying that it would start to forge a common economic ground with the european union also in its attempts to join the world trade organization and then the o.e.c.d. the organization for economic cooperation and development. and one of the most widely expected details of davos has been science ross nafta and b.p. have concluded a framework agreement on corp it confirms that plan to former joint venture to develop arctic fails will take six to seven percent of the venture the rest will be owned by b.p. the arctic reserves account for roughly four percent of global oil resources and around six percent of the world's gas resources the head of b.p.

robert dudley spoke exclusively to business archies general bushel. i think it's a very good good deal for b.p. i think it's a good deal for rostov i mean it's a watershed deal in the international oil industry i think it's good for russia this cross holding between two companies that have aligned interests is is a very good thing i think it's a harbinger of things you know it's in the decades ahead between the international oil companies and national how important is the. new oil production strategy i think the arctic has great potential if you look at the maps in russia i think it's going to be something that's great for russia to put companies involved and their course of b.p. we're very very excited about it could new finds hope to maintain oil production levels if you look out to the year two thousand and thirty the growth in oil production will be fairly limited its value though will be high the world will need forty percent more energy by twenty thirty it's going to be something the world needs how would you summarize b.p.'s new strategy going forward well i'd probably

say three three ways one we are deeply embedded in safety risk management into everything we do in the company we're going to meet our commitments we need to rebuild trust back in the company and then our strategy going forward to rebuild the value for shareholders in b.p. and the future prospects with ross not just part of that where is b.p. now in the gulf the gulf of mexico oil spill well we have many many commitments to meet there we've got a long way to go to rebuild the trust there so we haven't put it behind it where we're deeply embedded in the learnings from that experience in cross country company in terms of what we do everywhere around the globe. the deal between ross nafta and b.p. will not cause any harm to russia's holding t n k b p which is also in partnership with the u.k. oil group but according to the head of the world who want to see a chimp who was speaking up the dollars form it was earlier reported to russia shareholders were concerned the deal might have been

a breach of these early agreement to pursue projects in russia and ukraine exclusively through. but it was such an managed to rush or investors. that consulted the botanist from b.p. and their opinion is that they acted within the law and the questions of the royce should be resolved through the legal instruments and we don't see any problems here if b.b. has additional opportunities in russia to develop projects we deem to be a notional projects i think that's a good. time to have a look at how the markets are faring that's our asian stocks are higher helped by mild gains on wall street and the decision to keep supporting the u.s. economy with its point purchase plan the nikkei is also my expectations for i'll be joining sound begins fall against the euro which has given strong support to exporters so many rows or a point seven percent again point eight percent. let's have all got their russian

markets. closed the borders will open in about ten minutes time but the r.t.s. has already opened and that's definitely a step to recovery from monday's decline in choose just flat finish and the recovery definitely continues as you can see the r.t.s. point three percent this hour. russia's federal antitrust service has no objections to the merger of portrush firms and sylvan it which would create world's third largest county and produce some. hurdled their service says the deal will not be hopeful to the russian market as it consumes only ten percent of the output in exchange for their poor old companies have agreed to sell for two lies at two russian agricultural producers to fixed price twenty six percent lower than the market price within the next two years or cali will bite
