and russia's commerce and newspaper says police have named a suspect behind a terror attack of moscow's dum of the airport which killed thirty five people a man from southern russia stopper paul region could be one of the organizers or even a perpetrator of monday's blast or for more on this let's cross to al gore sponsor a for us so sarah tell us more about these new revelations. what we need the surname is the man that says naming and possible connection to the attacks is rust is not named at the moment whether he was the actual suicide bomber himself or just involved in connection with the with the bombing we do know that he's from russia southern style of ripple region and that he has possible links to now disbanded terror groups that operated in the area know a day that that used to be headed. and that that has links to international terror organizations that they carried out a number of bombings in recent years one of these in two thousand and four. when

two planes took off from here and they bombs went off in. planes as they were in the air one of those that was flying to sochi the female suicide bomber on that plane was also a member of the new guy terror group so we've also heard from these unofficial sources that there are around ten other suspects that are also being linked to the attack but of course these are unofficial sources at the moment what we've heard from investigators is that where they're at with the investigations they've managed to find the body of the suicide bomber they've got a team of experts analyzing a picture of the head experts say that they think the origins of the person from southern european or arabic origins and that's where they are with that at the moment now we know obviously as the investigation continues are going to be trying to establish exactly who this person was and bring those involved and those responsible held them accountable also where there was a day of mourning in moscow yesterday and what other commemorative events are being

planned for today. with today in the center of moscow they're having a gathering to commemorate days that were involved in the attack in the victims of that thirty five people were tragically killed many many more still in hospital and many of these in a critical condition now yesterday was the day of mourning we saw a lot of people turn up to the airport here they were laying should be putting down flowers and candles we saw international reaction as well we had the american ambassador come down here and the response from russia has really been one of resilience we saw the airports up for money again very quickly we've heard president fayed of he made it to the devils i can omit for saying these terrorists haven't pulled the country to its knees and that really now there's a need for the international community to unite to fight what is a global threat and here on the ground they're really putting actions they strong values that they made to find a pair of traits and to find all of those you had any part any responsibility in

this attack and we know the finger of blame has pointed at the chance will and airport authorities there's been full. high officials ready more expected to come as the investigation continues as we start to really find everyone involved and hold them accountable all right sara first thanks very much indeed for bringing us the latest on this. and ivan eland an american defense analyst and author explains why russia is becoming a frequent target for islamist terrorists these people may have been trained in pakistan in 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 but they're fighting it seems like all these people are islamised what we generally call islamist but 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 the 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 them they're just not crazy and yet another terrorist attack this time in russia's north caucasus republic of dagestan has killed four civilians and left six injured the device detonated in a car parked outside a cafe in the town of house of you are the second largest city in the republic the explosion was equivalent of thirty kilograms of t.n.t. it's the second car bomb explosion in the city in the past two weeks. and after the bombing a demonstrator airport nato and russia have vowed to work together to fight terrorism r.t. spoke to nato military committee chairman admiral to palau says the fight against

terrorism remains a top priority. we were rady agreed that. the fight against terrorism is one of the main iraq operation the need to rush a worker program what happened in that the mood there go among the heathen even more and other witnesses to the ins and so is increasing our determination to work together to fight terrorism because terrorists as no latitude as no call of terrorism is their own food store and we need to work together to counter it and 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 russia and nato with top military officials met to discuss joint missile defense in europe but it agreed in a lisbon last november how to cooperate in the creation of the system a change of the general staff nicole i'm a car says there should be a clear understanding of the outcome of the project. 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 first to suggest building the systems stage by stage logical that's unacceptable for us we must understand what russia's final role in building missile defense systems is no two 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. russia has acquired a brand new nuclear warhead capable of penetrating any missile the fam system both existing and those under construction according to its chief desire this unique intercontinental ballistic missile was successfully tested last year yuri saw mot of says the new weapon can hit several targets located at great distance from each

other our engineers need to combine the new missile was existing rocket launchers he said that for decades such in iraq it was only possible in science fiction. but you are to live from moscow still because of the program making the world scene on the anniversary of the liberation of the nazis largest das kapital joint effort by google and an israeli museum aims to educate the masses on the atrocities of the holocaust. and will look out why ordinary people in america don't share the optimism their president sought to instill in his state of the union address. terror threats preventing manmade disasters and the weaken leaks revelations the first day of the world economic forum in davos is taken and i expect of course after the russian president's opening speech well arty's lore and it has the details from switzerland well it was a speech that began with an introduction by the head of the world economic forum

klaus schwab and he introduced president medvedev for the us the audience to stand and observe a minute's silence in memory of the victims of monday's blast of air force and that set the tone certainly for the beginning of the speech president medvedev said that the pain that they're feeling in russia now strengthens international resolve to fight a common fight against terror and he also had some quite defiant words space for the terrorists and for the gathered audience years of dorsey were sure that those who committed this terrible act targeting citizens of different countries expected their actions to bring russia to its knees but they thought room 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 delays forest fires so russia is proposing an early warning system an international network of early warning systems

that can predict these kinds of natural disasters that they'll be more easily dealt with he also mentioned wiki leaks he said that he had read the cables that wiki leaks had released. russia and essentially there was nothing new there they could have come from open source and shoot the issue alternately i think the wiki leaks 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 has been nothing new to me today is the first full day and there's going to be a huge range of meetings as is usually centering on both the business the the economic the governmental and the cultural having a session on nurturing africa's natural resources globalization talking about the next potential shock to the global economy and are also eurozone survival so huge

range of issues but one of the most important sessions of today is a session entitled russia is next steps to modernization 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 so it will in fact be attended by first step to promise to all of in his place and they'll be talking about how russia can fulfill its desire to become a knowledge based economy. reporting there and we'll bring you more coverage of the ongoing summit in our business bulletin later in the program and also later a financial analyst max kaiser is focusing on the economic aspects of what's being decided in switzerland i. thought about instituting one hundred trillion dollars of new debt that's one hundred trillion dollars of worthless cocktail napkins with smeared lipstick that's one hundred trillion dollars a lot of exchange of most corrupt bankers for the pay for these overpriced orders.

that israel's national holocaust museum and the search giant google have announced a joint project a nazi era archives 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 birkenau was liberated by the soviet army it's estimated around six million jews were murdered by the nazi regime in europe even today some questions remain unanswered over what exactly to place during the nazi occupation of poland as history professor john gross explains . what's happened however all over occupied europe in the territories that the germans have invaded is that the local population was as jews were being persecuted local population go drawn into that process of persecution and the benefit it

materially from it and. was reluctant to give shelter to jews who were trying to avoid the german network but seems to me that and i said it isn't was a very well ingrained element of people's world outlook at the time and the nazi move to say first of all the jews. 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. some interest so to speak and then slowly they were drawn into assisting in various ways in the process of of round up and occasionally unfortunately also in direct souls and even killings there were especially in the east there was actually a directive of the nazi 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. more on that story on our website artie dot com there is plenty more there for you right now let's find out why news blogs are gaining popularity among people craving for instant those of what's going on around the world. and sailing into the twenty fourteen sochi winter olympics a new thirty million year old yacht to use as a comfy gathering spot for the world leaders has been unveiled check out the full story on our website r.t. dot com. one day on from barack obama's state of the union address his rhetoric filled

speech is being poured over but mattie doubt their presidents rosy depiction of the u.s. or if the president's words will become reality christine got the views of the average american. you can find them at the crossroads in truck stops of most small cities in america and 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 had 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 you know 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 willing but corporate profits are up the economy is growing again it's a claim julie warner doesn't totally agree with we need to want our jobs back i mean the economy has not been stimulated like that for the average person the suffering goes on to have several college degree family members with no jobs have 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 might hear describe themselves as ordinary americans it's just about thirty miles outside of washington d.c. but in many. way remember all that we met robert allen who lives here with his wife barbara and father in law irvin 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. that tax money is made in america that's been. made in a lot of countries so it should be here first. 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. so 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 within next week the fight over health care. just like taken 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 them together just button and the mahdi 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 south r.t. may god bless you. and political analyst brian to both while obama's speech was a success tough action needs to be taken regarding cuts and most importantly a freezing of budget spending. to get out of iraq and stop spending money on iraq and afghanistan that's the first thing has to happen the reality is that no we

can't pay for it right now we need to find spaces in the budget that we can cut whether it's defense whether it's discretionary there may be some interest in holding discretionary to two thousand and eight levels like the republicans want to do versus the current levels which is what barack obama wants to do so we can have some space to make those investments secretary gates has pointed out places where you can make cuts future at vance mintz projects that can be cut one of the big boondoggles was the the new presidential helicopter marine one would suppose we one of those high tech the grants you know when systems ever made it's never been proven to work so they're getting rid of it is what exactly what they should be doing but in terms of the baseline budget you can't cut baseline defense while you're in the war theater it cannot be done freezing spending is something that should have happened probably three congresses ago because once we realized that the wars were costing upwards of one and a half trillion and two trillion dollars that weren't budgeted there not in the budget there special spending then there should have been

a freeze on discretionary spending at that time the fact that it didn't happen is sort of the reason why the republicans lost no six it's reason why the democrats lost in the most recent elections and e-mail unless there's some leadership on this some point soon we're going to be a lot of people losing jobs look out will. and now let's take a brief look at what's happening elsewhere in the world and twenty one workers have killed in colombia in a deadly coal mine explosion and rescue teams had no initial access to the victims due to rock collapse officials suspect the explosion is likely to have been caused by a buildup of methane gas similar blast occurred in the same mine four years ago killing thirty two people. officials in japan of raised the alert level as a volcano in southern japan continues to spew smoke and ash residents are banned from getting within a two kilometer radius of the area that had a small rupture which caused a plume of smoke to reach fifteen hundred meters and covered nearby villages in ash

they've t.v. has caused travel disruptions but no we injure resource serious damage have been reported. and now we're seven hundred anti-government protesters have been arrested across egypt after a second day of clashes with police demonstrations prompted the interior ministry to ban public gatherings but added that anyone taking to the streets will be prosecuted and the unrest has spurred thousands to take to the streets in gammon's capital these reactions are said to be inspired by the uprising in tunisia and shows people's unhappiness with their respective political regimes. all coming up in just a few moments old ladies business news stay with us. hello

under a very warm welcome to the business programs to the business program and all eyes of course on the davos economic forum and on the second day of this forum business leaders have had the chance to put their questions to russian representatives headed by deputy prime minister he told delegates that rich human resources combined with the drive for improvement will achieve a lot. and i believe that with all of our history with all of our culture with all of our skills nobody's skills we're very talented nation and we you know we have shown many times in different aspects in space in chemistry you know industry producing whatever we had very good examples we had bad examples sometimes mistakes but we're human beings you we can combine all efforts if we all see the

final aim we dream of and if we have enough resources we can achieve and russian authorities have approved a three point eight billion dollars acquisition of dairy producer down by pepsico the company's c.e.o. intra newey highlights the country's major achievements in easing terms for foreign investors. it's a market that's becoming increasingly consumer centric so global brands are becoming much loved in russia and so you know you can actually make a very good living in russia and i think above all the thing that we like most about russia is the fact that the government of russia is actually doing everything possible to encourage foreign investment i tell you the unprecedented access that they give investors to the government officials is unbelievable just to speak about the been done in a position where you know i was close be involved to make

a request to the russian government to ask for a meeting with prime minister putin to say you know we'd like to buy wimbledon and to get that request granted in a matter of hours i think is phenomenal that to just before christmas and then for them to approve the deal in such a record time i mean less than six weeks i think is a tremendous testimony to the fact that russia is welcoming a foreign investment and wants to make it work in russia and on wednesday russia's president gave his new on that country's economic aims because daniel bushell reports from davos. in the hole where the president of russia dmitry medvedev for speaking it 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 many of the key themes that are being expressed throughout several forums 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 draw on the world trade organization and then the o.e.c.d. the organization for economic cooperation and development. daniel bushell reporting and r.t. is live in davos for the world economic forum and now it's time danielle will be bringing us the latest from this from switzerland now the decision of rosneft and
