welcome to you the police have reportedly named one of the suspects behind the terror attack at moscow's airport it's claimed a man from southern russia is a staffer could have been an organizer or even a perpetrator of monday's blast which killed thirty five. surname is the man the source is naming and 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's southern stuffer polar region and that he has possible links to the now disbanded new guy terror group that operated in the area know it that used to be headed by shamil basayev and that has links to international terror
8:02 am
organizations in fact they carried out a number of bombings in recent years one of these in two thousand and four was denver 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 a member of the new guy terror group say 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 heads of these 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 today in the center of most gay they're having
8:03 am
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 tributes 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 every zillions we still the apples for money again very quickly we've had a president that he made it to the devils economic forum 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 it's a fight what is it good label threats and here on the ground they're really putting actions they still vows that they made to find a path taken to fight all those days you had any pot any responsibility in this attack we know the finger of blame has pointed at the child's school and it would authorities there's been full high officials ready more expected to come as the
8:04 am
investigation continues as we start to really find everyone involved and hold them accountable. according to well as the hunt for those continues american a defense on the list ivan eland says al qaeda or other groups linked to it might have their reasons for attacking russia. 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 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
8:05 am
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. following the attack adama the out of port nato and russia have worked closely together in the fight against global terror as a matter of priority nato is a military committee chairman told r.t. that victory over terrorism is possible only if there is unity among the international community. we have already agreed that. the fight against terrorism is one of the main arrow corporation the need to rush a worker program what happened in the their vo monday is an even more and other witnesses to the ins is increasing our determination to work together to fight terror because steroids as you know like to is not called terrorism is terrorism food store and we need to work together to counter it to win it that's what we have
8:06 am
to do all the international community together even so work on a joint missile defense system in europe remains a stumbling block and russia nato relations at a meeting in brussels russian military officials called on the alliance to give clear answers of a moscow's role in the european missile shield russia's chief of the general staff nikolai carroll says the nato partners are still reluctant to listen to moscow's proposals. 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 is the logical it's unacceptable for us we must understand what russia's final role in building a missile defense system is of is nato in the us said we should stop to analyze all the threats and challenges and to understand how we'll cooperate with this gives us
8:07 am
confidence that we'll be building those missile defense systems together if not the consequences will be disastrous. and that's more on russia and nato just ahead for you here on r.t. in our interview with mccullough markelov he's a chairman of the federal council's foreign affairs committee he was also one of the key men involved in the decision by the council to approve the long awaited nuclear cuts treaty with the u.s. is a preview of what's on the way in about twenty minutes time. needless to say of the four in the upper chamber of the russian parliament of the work on the fifth cation has started long before the document was brought. to the floor to vote and we were let's say trying to remove all the speed bumps on the way of the read the for creation which could appear because the discussion was rather tough both in washington and did moscow and i think we did
8:08 am
a significant amount of work together showing that for us both on the capitol hill and here in moscow the word that is a reset is not just the words we mean when we say the reset we need that reset unfortunately during the last twenty years we failed to work out the positive. agenda but was called war agenda in our bilateral relations it's time to correct the mistakes of the past it's time to use that opportunity. this is not a lie from moscow now russia's armed forces have reportedly they now have a brand new nuclear warhead at the disposal and it doesn't violate any part of the recently signed arms reduction treaty with the u.s. and the design a says it will be able to beat any current missile defense system and any other currently being built r.c.s. i think bennett takes a look. the designers say it'll be able to penetrate almost all the french shields
8:09 am
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 war hazell be deployed each with its own thermal technology will 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 when we're already russia claims to be in possession of one of the most powerful missiles there is in the world with ten individually target or 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 a very advanced indeed now 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
8:10 am
later this year they hope to commission and put into service a new boulevard which the c c based intercontinental missile and 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 sees is more with 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. parties are reporting from moscow. on the second day of the davos economic forum in switzerland the russian economy has been at the center of much discussion follows the russian president's opening keynote speech on wednesday but it's hard to use that laura reports who spoke more about real life than that of big business. well it was
8:11 am
a speech that began with an introduction by the head of the world economic forum klaus schwab and he introduced president medvedev. and observe a minute silence in memory of the victims of monday's blast and damage. and that set the tone for the beginning of the speech president medvedev said that the pain that with every leg 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 hears a door so sure those who committed this terrible and targeting citizens of different countries expected their actions to bring russia to its leaders but they thought 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
8:12 am
forest fires so russia is proposing an early warning system an international network of early warning systems that can predict based kinds of natural disasters they say 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 about russia and essentially there was nothing new there they could have come from open source is going to. ultimately would i think the wiki leaks issue should make the spirit of international law. to move even though some states consider this an illegal act you know the impact of this story is going to know that if as for what is legal some may find it interesting they do others it's no secret when you hear from me what i've read about russia nothing new to me today is the first full day and there's going to be a huge range of meetings. centering on both the business and the economic governmental and the cultural but one of the most important sessions of today is assessing entitles russia's next steps to modernization and the real will of its
8:13 am
people. coffee's florida putting the now we will bring you more coverage from davos in our upcoming business bulletin and while politicians and bankers are holding discussions at the forum aussie's a tireless financial critic max keiser is keeping a close eye on what's being decided there in switzerland the full program is coming up just a little bit later today. people are concerned out there and rightfully so because the global economy is being held hostage by the global kleptocracy that's meeting this week in devon hose to talk about all of the ways are going to totally screw the global economy so more and still more money because that's at their best doing they're talking about instituting one hundred trillion dollars of new debt that's one hundred trillion dollars of worthless cocktail napkins with smeared lipstick that says one hundred trillion dollars on an exchange or most corrupt bankers for a fee to pay for these god for saken overpriced orders.
8:14 am
and the american economy is growing and a corporate profits are up that's the optimistic assessment barack obama made in his annual state of the union address but it's oxys christine found out if as obama said we measure progress by the success of ordinary people there's a little ground for optimism. you can find them at the crossroads in truckstops 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 to do
8:15 am
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 warring back corporate profits are up the economy is growing again it's a claim 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. what 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.
8:16 am
but in many. way remember all of which 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. that tax money is made in america that's been if not made in other countries so it's to be here first take. 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
8:17 am
anything when something happens everyone comes together and we're going to the moment we hang out together we love each other but the next week the fight over health care. is 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 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 south r t. well meantime political analyst a bride to bosy says the u.s. government should have reconsidered its spending
8:18 am
a long time ago. we have to get out of iraq and stop spending money on iraq and afghanistan that's the first thing that's happened 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 secretary gates has pointed out places where you can make cuts future advancement projects that can be cut one of the debate boondoggles was the new presidential helicopter marine one was one of those high tech the grants you know weapon 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 might be 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
8:19 am
sort of the reason why the republicans lost no six it's reason why the democrats lost in the most recent elections and you know unless there's some leadership on this some point soon we're going to be a lot of people losing jobs. you with the law from moscow where it's now just turning twenty minutes past the hour israel's national holocaust museum and internet giant google have announced a joint project involving 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 this day at nineteen forty five the largest of the nazi concentration camps auschwitz birkenau was liberated by the soviet army it's estimated around six million jews were murdered by the nazi regime all across europe historian john gross says that some of the occupied countries local population contributed to those that don't patriots and the continent's history. what happened however all over occupied europe in the
8:20 am
territories that the germans have invaded is that local population was as jews were being persecuted local population go drawn into that process of persecution and it benefited materially from it and. was reluctant to give shelter to jews who were trying to avoid german at network but seems to me that and they said it is more a fairly 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 in various ways in the process of of round up and occasionally unfortunately also in
8:21 am
direct solves 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 unfortunately there was quite a response at that time. let's get to some other headlines from around the world this hour and the former head of the un's nuclear agency and nobel prize winner mohamed el baradei has announced he's returning to egypt following the unprecedented protests of the past two days he's offered to lead egypt's opposition activists prepare for a massive rally in cairo the government has drastically tightened security and blocks cell phones under social networks and used by protesters more than nine hundred demonstrators have been arrested with forty facing charges of trying to
