a perpetrator of monday's blast. when a the surname is the man the source is naming in possible connection to the attacks is rust a bit is not known at the moment whether he was the actual suicide bomber himself or just involved in connection with the with the bombing that we do know that he's from russia southern staff reporter region and that he has possible links to now disbanded the new guy terror group that operated in the area know we know that that used to be headed by air and that has links to international terror organizations in fact they carried out a number of bombings in recent years one of these in two thousand and four was diverted for airport when two planes took off from here and they bombs went off in those planes as they were in the air one of those that was flying to sochi the female suicide bomber on that plane was also
7:02 am
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 who today in the center of moscow that 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

7:04 am
pakistan in the al qaeda areas the problem that you have with that 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 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 and they're just not crazy. well after the bombing at domodedovo airport nato and russia have vowed to work together to fight
7:05 am
terrorism r.t. spoke to nato military committee chairman admiral di paolo who says the fight against terrorism remains our top priority we were ready agreed that. the fight against terrorism is one of the main iraq operation the need to rush a worker program what happened in the move there go monday is an even more and other witnesses to the ins and so is increasing our determination to work together to fight terrorists because terrorists as no like to 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 as top military officials met to discuss joint missile defense in europe the two agreed in lisbon last november on how to cooperate in the creation of the

system the chief of the general staff nikolai mcconnell says there should be a clear understanding of the outcome of the project. which he did the 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 first later suggests building the systems stage by stage the logical that's unacceptable 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. russia has acquired a brand new nuclear warhead wish does not violate any aspects of the start treaty the main design and says it would defeat both current missile defense systems and those under construction artie's i bet it has more on the ground breaking rocket.
7:07 am
the designers say it'll be able to penetrate almost all the french shields not only current ones the ones in production for the next forty years now this concept is so unique so groundbreaking actually prompted the chief designer of the missile to come out and say that thirty years ago this sort of concept would have actually been considered as science fiction is that futuristic that advanced now we know that when the missile is in flight you will actually have several independently target for warheads will be deployed each with its own thermal technology what that means it'll they'll be allowed to go on undetected innovate any missile shield now other than those missiles you don't actually know any more about this one we're already russia claims to be in possession of one of the most powerful missiles there is in the world with ten independently top of the warheads each with a range of eleven thousand kilometers and obviously there's the design is a conference that will be even more powerful than that and so clearly that the technology they possess and have come up with is clearly very advanced indeed now
7:08 am
they've been testing this for the last year the next two years they hope to combine it with current missiles and current carries they have later this year they hope to commission and put into service a new boulevard which the c. a c. based intercontinental missile now this all may sound like quite aggressive posturing on russia's part but actually under the new start treaty there is there are actually any restrictions at all on the development of new technology so what they see is is more of the terror and rather than anything else and hence the comment the statement from the defense ministry anatoly a surge of calls he said that should russia nato fail to actually come up with a joint missile defense shield in europe and russia will be forced to come up with one of their own. it is our banner according now you can always find out more on that story and many others that we have on r.t. dot com let's have a look now at what's waiting for you online to find out why and use blogs are gaining popularity among people craving for an instant dose of what's going on

7:10 am
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 acclaimed julie warner doesn't totally agree with we need to what our jobs back i mean for

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 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 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. before you
7:12 am
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 it's 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 but then next week the fight over health care. to play taken a kid. and put him in a candy shop you'd be good give me some candy that's what it looks like to me
7:13 am
you put them together just for them 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 south r.t. may god bless you. well meantime political analyst abroad bosy said that while obama's speech was well received by party rivals tough action needs to be taken regarding top of 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 that 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
7:14 am
you can make cuts future at vance mint projects that can be cut one of the big boondoggles was the new presidential helicopter marine one who supposedly 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 the 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 they're going to be a lot of people losing jobs on capitol hill. this is. the hour
7:15 am

7:17 am
professor john gross explains. what happened however all over occupied europe in the territories that the germans have invaded is that local population was as jews were being persecuted local population got 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 at network but seems to me that and they said it isn't was a very well ingrained element of people's world outlook at the time and did not see move to say first of all the 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. some interest so to speak and then slowly they were drawn into assisting in various
7:18 am
ways in the process of of round up and occasionally unfortunately also in direct assault and even killings there were especially in the east there was actually a directive of the. police chief at the time. to invite the local population to be active in acts of programs and killings of the jews and other fortunately there was quite a response at that time. let's get the latest from the world economic forum in davos and a small blast has shaken the hotel in near the venues according to police there are no injuries reported at this point but two windows were broken investigators are looking into whether the explosion is over a criminal origin it comes as the tone of the forum was set by the opening speech by the russian president medvedev who spoke of the threat of terror preventing it
