gathered in central moscow to commemorate the victims of the terror attack at don't like the end of the airport exactly three days after the deadly blast that killed thirty five and injured a well over one hundred. science fiction becomes reality russia develops a new warhead capable of penetrating old mysel the fed seals for the next forty years. leaning toward our jobs back and forth the economy has not been and still a life except that despite brock obama's optimism in his state of the union address party looks at how ordinary americans find it hard to believe their president's

assurances of a growing economy. and devils in the detail find out which deals are being mauled at this whist resort the world economic forum and around twenty minutes. here with r.t. welcome to the program crowds have gathered in one of moscow's main square mall in the thirty five victims of monday's terrible. port an estimated three thousand people what are you going to piss going off is among them we can all talk to him live and let you go to tell us more about what's been happening there in central moscow we've seen the people laying down flowers and lighting candles. while the commemoration ceremonies started with a minute of silence commemorating the. victims of monday's blast it began. with

that minute of silence at exactly four thirty two pm which is the exact time of the blast at the module the airfield as you see people are bringing flowers and lighting up candles and all this is despite the freezing temperatures outside right now and the ceremony is being held at pushkin square square which is not only one of the main squares of the city and historical sites but it's also the site of another terrorist attack in august two thousand. wednesday was a day of warning in moscow and in moscow region scores of people visited the mondeo airport itself also laying filed flowers at the scene of the blast and memorial services were held at churches mosques and synagogues in moscow and in the region president need to be a different the prime minister are going to push and visited some of the ceremonies as well of course all of this just shows how effect this attack brought on

the city and probably entire nation are just sort of still pretty much in shock so you're going to be seeing a huge outpouring of support there and masses of people as you were saying in attendance and live pictures right here again on our t.v. we're hearing about three thousand people in attendance there at this memorial lighting candles and laying down flowers for the thirty five victims of monday's don't get of applause you got it let's talk about the investigation into monday's terror attack and then making any headway here any progress. well perhaps it's too soon for any official results of the investigation to be announced boss off the in these types of situations investigators try not to release too much information not to harm the investigation itself however there's a lot of speculation in the media and according to were some reports the name. emerges reportedly this. is a man from southern russia who is

a member. group and he may be connected to the others reports to suggest that this radical group was trained in pakistan and his links to al qaida but once again these are not official results of the investigation just speculation of course as soon as we get any official information from the investigators themselves we'll report on that as soon as we get it or you are still looking at live pictures here on. people are braving the temperatures it's a good one minus ten minus twenty here in moscow and yet over three thousand people in attendance to show their support and offer their condolences to the victims of the terrorist act on monday. from pushkin's square in the heart of moscow you're going to miss going to reporting life thank you very much. well as the hunt for those responsible

continues american defense analyst ivan eland says 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 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 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 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. following the attack i don't yet have a vote on monday nato and russia have developed so what closely together in the fight against global terror making it a matter of priority nato as a military committee chairman told us they would see the victory of terrorism is possible but only if there is a unity among the international community we will raid the agreed that. the fight against terrorism is one of the main a vocal preaching the need to rush to work program what happened the monday isn't even moon and other witnesses to dance and so is increasing you know that they may need to work together to play turkey because as no like as not to raise food still we need to work to get the country to do with it that's what we have to do

old international community together. even so work on a joint missile defense system in europe remains a stumbling block in russia nato relations at a meeting in brussels russian and military officials called on the airlines to give clear answers over moscow's role in the european missile shield crushers chief of the general staff nikolai mcconnell 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 reach through the new start treaty the russian proposals have unfortunately not been mit's with full understanding first later suggests that saluting 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 up is your nato in the list said we should stop to analyze all the threats and challenges and to understand how will cooperate with this gives us confidence that we'll be building those missile defense systems

together if not the consequences will be disastrous. and as more on the russia and nato relationship in our interview with the hallmark aloft chairman of the federation 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 treaty with the united states that interview is coming your way next hour right here on r.t. but here's a quick preview. needless to say of that for us in the upper chamber of the russian parliament where the work on the 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

in moscow and i think we did 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 a word we mean when we say the reset we need that reset unfortunately during the last twenty years we've failed to work out the positive. that will engender both called war agenda in our bilateral relations it's time to correct the mistakes of the past it's time to use that opportunity all those of. you with r.t. live from moscow russia's armed forces now reportedly have a brand new nuclear warhead and the disposal now 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 that's currently being built. out of bennett reports. the designers say it'll be able to penetrate almost all the french shields not only current ones

but 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 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 very advanced indeed now they've been testing this for the last year the next two years they hope to combine

it with car missiles and car and carrys they have later this year they hope to commission and put into service a new boulevard which the c. a c. based in the continental 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 technologies that what they sees is more with the terror and rather than anything else and hence the comment in the statement from the defense ministry anatoly acidic 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. these are part of the 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 and i want to use the lore and reports he spoke more about real life than that of big business. it was

a speech that began with an introduction by the head of the world economic forum klaus schwab and 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 the head of the air force and that set the tone certainly from 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 both for the terrorists and for the gathered audience here is rick 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 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 these forest fires so russell 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 about russia and essentially there was nothing new there they could have come from open source is going to shoot the issue alternately i think the wiki leaks issue should make the spirit of international relations feel fear 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's the first full day and there's going to be a huge range of meetings as is usually doubtless said essentially on both the business the the economic the governmental and the cultural but one of the most important sessions of today is that session entitles russia's next steps to

modernization and will people he's lorimer reporting there and we'll be bringing you more coverage from davos in our business bulletin that's about five six minutes away and while politicians and bankers are holding discussions at the forum artie's tireless financial critic max kaiser is keeping a close eye on what's being talked about in switzerland full program is coming our way in about two hours. you 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 devils to talk about all of the ways are going to totally screw the global economy so more and steal more money because that's what 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 serves one hundred trillion dollars a lot of exchange or most corrupt bankers for a fee to pay for these god for saken overpriced talkers. the

american economy is growing and corporate profits are up well that's the optimistic assessment barack obama made in his annual state of the union address but as aunties christine for south found out as obama said if indeed they are measuring progress by the success of ordinary people then there's a little ground for optimism. 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 heartless it 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 rolling back corporate profits are up the economy is growing again it's acclaimed julie warner doesn't totally agree with we need to get our jobs back i mean we're the economy has not been a stimulative like it's for the average person the suffering goes on to have several college degree family members you know 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 that's just around thirty miles outside of washington d.c.

but in many. way remember 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. but tax money is made in america that's been. made in a lot of countries so it should 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 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 work we will cool 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. to 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. . in time political analyst brian debuggers says the u.s. government should have recognized its spending

a long time ago. we have 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 and secretary gates has pointed out places where you can make cuts future advancement projects that can be cut one of the big boondoggles was the new presidential helicopter marine one would suppose we've one of those high tech advance 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 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 you know unless there's some leadership on this some point soon we're going to be a lot of people losing jobs on capitol hill. you are with r t live from moscow it's not twenty minutes past the hour let's check out some of the major headlines from around the world this hour the former head of the un's nuclear agency and nobel prize winner mohamed el baradei has announced that he will return to egypt following the unprecedented protests of the past two days he's offered to egypt's opposition as activists prepare for a massive rally in cairo the government has drastically tightened security and blocked cell phones and social networks used by protesters more than nine hundred demonstrators have been arrested with forty facing charges of trying to overthrow the government. or growing unrest in yemen tens of thousands of protesters are. told him to have flooded the streets demanding the

presidential resignation. economically. by corruption rocked by unemployment and poverty there are fears that various terrorist cells including al qaeda have been working to this point the situation in yemen. and officials in tokyo have raised the alert level as a ball kaino when something japan continues to spew smoke and keep it a ban from going within two kilometers of the area there was a minor eruption of the volcano which pushed a plume of smoke some fifteen hundred meters into the sky and covered nearby villages. and time now for the business news with dmitri. and i want a very warm welcome to the business program the second day of devils form brings together world oil giants russia's top oil producer ross nafta and u.s. major exxon mobil have signed a deal to develop
