ordinary americans find it hard to believe the president's assurances of a growing economy. and. multibillion dollar deal to develop the shelf they might now run into these russian complaining they were. with us. one of moscow's main square mall in the thirty five victims of monday's terror. it comes as police reportedly named one of the suspects who could be behind the attack. these developments to. push.

the ceremony began with a minute of silence at exactly four thirty two pm the time when the explosion happened to the much of the airport on monday and despite the freezing temperatures scores of people gathered here at pushkin square square which is not only one of the main squares and historic science of the city was also a scene of another terrorist attack in august two thousand wins the was a day of mourning in moscow and in moscow region people came to them on to the airport including officials and even for the usual also laying flowers at the scene of the attack the moral services were held at churches mosques and synagogues across moscow and moscow region also in commemoration of the victims and the president the prime minister visited some of the ceremonies as well and just to remind you of this attack killed thirty five people and one hundred eighty others were injured so pretty much on thursday showed as well that the city and probably

be entire country is still in shock after this attack started you know tell me about how the investigation is going you are going to go to the site of monday's boston any progress being made at this point. we've had some sources naming a suspect in connection to that attack you know his surname is rest of each day and he's believed to be from russia start from pole region and as also a thought that he has possible links to the now disbanded nic i terrorist great and we know that. was headed by shamil basayev and has links to international terrorist organizations now they've been responsive to for a number of bombings a very senior is one of these attacks was carried out at domodedovo airport when t. planes take off from the airport explained it in the air when bombs were set off and one of the female suicide bombers aboard one of the planes that was headed facility i was all say can i. with the new guy terrorist three. we've also heard

that there are on ten other suspects big thought to be connected to the attack but these of course all the unofficial sources though we've heard from the investigators here is that they've been able to find the body puzzle of the suicide bomber and they've had a team of experts working to analyze the pictures the heads and the experts believe that person to be the southern european. origin say the investigation here continuing and we know that the think it is a plane is also be pointing to the transport and it will to thirty's and we've already see president they did acting on a serious files that he said to hold days accountable for people who are responsible accountable and we've already seen a number of firings of top officials involved in the child's will say it's day president medvedev visited. the station in the center of most gate to see how the security systems were working that he was joined by the mosque a message a soviet in a number of other officials they were really assessing the situation the message in

the wake of the attack very clear that they want to ensure the security is as tight as it possibly can they thought he's a sorry for the putting there from the scene of monday's boston before going off from a pushkin sky a square in the center of moscow where the memorial service was held this off to name one of the hunt for those responsible continues american defense analyst ivan eland says that al qaeda or other groups linked to it might have their own reasons for attacking russia these people may have been trained in pakistan and the al qaida 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 islamised 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. 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 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 head of nato and russia to work closely together in the fight against global terror they're making it a matter of priority nato is a military committee chairman told us here about see that victory over terrorism is possible but only if there's unity among the international community. we were already agreed that. the fight against terrorism is one of the main 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 increasing our determination to work together to fight terror because

steroids as not like to as not call of terrorism is their own 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. even so joint missile defense system in europe remains a stumbling block in russia nato relations at a meeting in brussels russian military officials called on the alliance to give clear answers over moscow's role in the european missile shield russia's 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 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 missile defense systems of is 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. for those are much more on the russia or a nato relationship in our interview with the 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 cuts treaty with the united states is a glimpse of what's coming your way next hour. needless to say that for us in the upper chamber. the russian parliament or 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 did moscow and i think we did a significant amount of work together. for us both on the capitol hill and here in moscow the word. reset is not just a word 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. without the light from moscow and that russia's armed forces now reportedly have a brand new nuclear warhead at their disposal and it doesn't violate any part of the recently signed reduction treaty with the u.s. the design of meantime says it will be able to beat any current missile defense system and any other one that's now being built. bennett takes

a look. 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 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 one 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 does 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 current missiles and current carries they have later this year they hope to commission and put into service a new boulevard which the c c based in the continental may sell this all may sound like quite aggressive posturing on russia's part but actually under the new start treaty there is there aren't 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. parties other bennett they're reporting from the center of moscow . on the second day of the davos economic forum in switzerland the russian economy has been at the center of much discussion it follows the russian president's opening a keynote speech on wednesday the first time russia has been represented at the

forum by its leader to meet. this visit was shorter than planned due to monday's attack on board the bombing was the first topic you touched upon in his speech before turning to issues of preventing a manmade disasters and the wiki leaks revelations the davos forum lasts until sunday. and on our website at r.t. dot com we're asking what do you think people decide was for him let's look at the stats right now if we can just about ten percent of you think the davos forum is there to make the world a better place almost a fifth believe it's an excuse for the rich to get richer at the expense of those not attending a quarter about twenty seven percent think that it's an opportunity for the powerful to plot how to stay in power and almost half of you have gone with the last almost option you think it's the big fashion fads for the year ahead being all talked about the results so far you can still have your say anytime you like at r.t. dot com. but we'll bring you one more coverage from davos in our business bulletin

that's about eight or seven minutes away from now but for the meantime a politicians and bankers are also holding discussions of the form tieless financial critic max keiser is keeping a close eye on what's being decided in davos full program is coming up in about fifteen minutes from now. 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 and devil knows 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 they're 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 on an exchange the most corrupt bankers for a few days to pay for these god for sake of a price gougers. only now it out of the

headlines of the bottom of the hour the cause reported becoming no way for the american economy is growing and corporate profits are up that's the optimistic assessment barack obama made in his annual state of the union address but it's also easy christine found out if 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 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 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 so that do

you know but i don't think that's shouldn't even be in the top twenty heartlessly 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 stimulated 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 man here 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 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. made in other 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 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 something happens everyone comes together and we're going to the moment we hang out together we love each other but then 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 there 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. . meantime political analyst ron dubose says the u.s. government should have reconsidered 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 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 and secretary gates has pointed out places where you can make cuts future ed ransom it's projects that can be cut one of the debate boondoggles was the new presidential helicopter marine one would suppose we 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 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 on capitol hill. you're with. us now we're just turning twenty minutes past the hour let's check out some other major headlines from around the world now former head of the un's nuclear agency and noble prize winner mohamed el baradei has announced he is returning to egypt following the president in protest 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 blocked cell phones and social networks used by protesters but at this point more than nine hundred demonstrators have been arrested forty facing charges of trying to overthrow the government. there's also a growing unrest in yemen tens of thousands of protesters inspired by the popular revolt in tunisia have flooded the streets of the capital demanding the president's
