how ordinary americans find it hard to believe their president's assurances of a growing economy. for a little later the multibillion dollar deal between b.p. and to develop the arctic shelf might be frozen as b.p.'s russian partners are complaining they were not invited to participate in. the news from russia and from around the world this is r.t. here in moscow crowds have gathered at one of moscow's main squares to mourn the thirty five victims of monday's terrible asked adama dead of course it comes as police have reportedly named one of the suspects who could have been behind the attack well earlier my colleague rory sushi discussed these developments with going off at pushkin square and sara first. the ceremony began with
12:02 pm
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 who came to the march of the airport including officials and even for you know you should 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 these 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
12:03 pm
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. but we've had some sources naming a suspect in connection to that attack we know his surname is rusty bitch k. and he's believed to be from russia's proposal region and i was also thought that he has possible links to the now disbanded nic i terrorist. we know that. it was headed by shamil basayev and has links to international terrorist organizations now they've been responsible for a number of bombings a very senior is one of these attacks was carried out at domodedovo airport when two planes take off from the airport explained it in the air went on to set off one of the female suicide bombers aboard one of the planes that was headed facility i was also a connected with the new guy terrorist three. we've also heard that they're on ten
12:04 pm
other sussed. big thought to be connected to the attack 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 parts of the suicide bomber and they've had a team of experts working to analyze a picture of the head on the experts believe that person to be over southern european arabic origin say the investigation here continuing and we know that the figures of blame is also being pointing to the transport and airport authorities we've already seen president medvedev acting on these 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 trials will sector today president medvedev visited the riyadh station in the center of moscow to see how the security systems were working that he was joined by the most came out in a number of other officials they were really assessing the situation the message
12:05 pm
kid in the wake of the attack very clear they want to ensure the security is as tight as it possibly can be. well as the hunt for those responsible continues american defense analyst 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 that 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 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 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
12:06 pm
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. nato and russia have to work closely together in the fight against global terror as a matter of priority and his military committee chairman told auntie that victory over terrorism is possible only if there's unity among the international community . we will raid the agreed that. the fight against terrorism is one of the main a vocal preach in the need to rush to work a program what happened the monday is an even more and then the witnesses to the ins and so is increasing i would it to me need to work together to play turkey because as no luck is not to raise food so we need to work together to counter it to win it that's what we have to do old international
12:07 pm
community together. even so work on a joint missile defense system in europe remains a stumbling block in russia nato relations at their 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 says that nato partners are still reluctant to listen to moscow's proposal. which is 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 it'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 and this gives us confidence that we'll be building those missile defense systems together if not the consequences will be disastrous. but
12:08 pm
only when there's more russia and nato in our interview with the chairman of the federation council's foreign affairs committee mikhail margelov 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. the new start treaty what is a glimpse of what's coming your way later this hour. needless to say of that for us in the upper chamber of the russian parliament or 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 in moscow and i think we did a significant amount of work together showing that for us both on the capitol hill
12:09 pm
and here in moscow the word it 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. russian forces now reportedly have a brand new nuclear warhead at their disposal it doesn't violate any part of the recently signed arms reduction treaty with the u.s. and the designer says it will be able to beat any current missile defense system and any other being built bodies other planets takes another. design a 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
12:10 pm
so groundbreaking actually problem to the chief designer of the missile to come out and say that thirty years ago this sort of concept would have actually been considered a science fiction is that futuristic advance now we know that when the missile is inclined you will actually have several independently told the full warheads will be deployed each with its own thermal technology with that means it will be allowed to go on and take to. of aid any missile shield now other than those facilities 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 indifferently time to warheads each with a range of eleven thousand kilometers and obviously this is designed as 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 intercontinental missile and this all may sound
12:11 pm
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 a 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 are bennett reporting there from moscow. protests inspired by the revolt in tunisia have domino along egypt yemen and algeria some of drawing comparisons to the color revolution seen in post soviet countries well to discuss this i'm joined live by william and ali is the author of the book full spectrum dominance totalitarian democracy in the new world order good to see you here in r.t. thanks very much for joining us now thousands holding rallies crowds overthrowing
12:12 pm
presidents do you think there is any comparison to what happened in georgia ukraine and kind of a stand. no question about it what happened in georgia with the orange revolution or rather the rose revolution in georgia in ukraine with the orange revolution two thousand and three two thousand and four was part of a long term strategy orchestrated by the pentagon the state department and various u.s. financed and geos like the freedom house and national endowment for democracy to create nato regime change in those former soviet union areas and to literally encircle russia now the what what's going on in the middle east with the jasmine revolution in tunisia that we saw a few days ago topple ben ali the. president there and now in egypt was mobarak yunus in his eighty's and obviously the regime is not exactly the most
12:13 pm
stable of ones well we have a food crisis taking place as the backdrop in the i.m.f. coming in telling these countries to eliminate their state food subsidies so you have of course the explosive background for popular autographs and within that you have these n.g.o.s like freedom house training activists and trade unions and various other organizations to demand democracy demand human rights and so forth so you know just to make it clear you talk about n.g.o.s. and other influences you know you had she saying that in the way that we saw in the color revolutions there was an american influence happening then you saying there is definitely an american influence behind what's happening with seeing now behind the likes of yemen egypt. and the other countries will go sure yes indeed go back to two thousand and four when congolese or rice was talking about. the new middle east and earlier it was called the greater middle east this was
12:14 pm
a grand strategy not just of the bush administration but u.s. pentagon strategy going back almost the more than two decades. sort of three decades to the time of the big no brzezinski is security advisor to president carter when he talked about an arc of crisis and circling russia over the soviet union in those days and i think we're seeing very much a replay of that intensified scale in order to what some people in washington today are calling a creative destruction process that will simply upset the chessboard create actions all over the place and out of that try to reorganize certain power groupings that were oriented toward western europe or even toward china or central. just quickly so we have a lot of time but you're saying reorganizing those power groups well as we saw in those color revolutions in the post soviet space now they actually haven't been that successful have they so what's your prediction that if we do see
12:15 pm
a change of regime we sort of obvious in tunisia but if there is a change in egypt or yemen will we see a similar turmoil political turmoil in those countries in the future. it's very very hard at this point to to predict i think the instability can have potential horrendous ramifications for for europe itself where you have large muslim populations from northern africa and france and many european countries so it's not the if this continues and every indication is that it will in the coming weeks we can see a very very turbulent time ahead both for europe and political stability that would create. economic background for economic growth so i think the least benefits no one in western europe it potentially benefits certain people in washington who would like to feed off that instability just one brief observation before we finish these revolutions being led by the people and not necessarily by
12:16 pm
conventional politicians and of course social media seems to be having an effect in all of this is well is that to put the point. no. led by the people if you look more closely you look at the so-called people who are leading this are being coached in the they're being coached by u.s. intelligence services the same way the orange revolution was in the rose revolution with saakashvili and in georgia and. you know this this isn't a spontaneous explosion i don't know about the self-immolation that's what they were all about but certainly the majority of this appears to be orchestrated very finely by by the technique that was perfected a nonviolent revolution by gene sharks albert einstein institution institute in cambridge some years ago with the rand corporation so these are very sophisticated models it was tested in iran. and successfully the iranians brought it
12:17 pm
under control but it's the same footprint that we saw going back as far as serbia with the ouster of milosevic we'll leave it there thank you very much indeed william and author of full spectrum dominance to terra democracy in the new world order joining us there live in frankfurt we appreciate your time thanks thank you. well on the second day of the economic forum in switzerland the russian economy has been at the center of much discussion it follows the russian president's speech on wednesday the first time russia has been represented represented at the forum by its leader to meet him if it is visit was shorter than planned due to monday's attack on the airport the bowl me was the first topic he touched upon in his speech before turning to issues of preventing manmade disasters and the wiki leaks revelations the devils forum until sunday. on our website harty dot
12:18 pm
com we're asking what do you think people decide at the davos forum which is eight percent of you think the forum is there to make the world a better place a fifth believe it's an excuse for the rich to get richer the expense of their. not attending and a quarter that's twenty five percent think it's an opportunity for the powerful to plot how to stay in power and almost half of you have gone with a less onerous option you think it's the big fashion fads for the year ahead being talked about well those are the results so far you can always have your say looking for him for me at r.t. dot com. 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 an artist christine friends are found out if we measure progress by the success of ordinary people there's 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
12:19 pm
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 i don't. know the big catastrophes like haiti and so do you know but i don't think that's shouldn't even be in the top twenty heartlessly concerning. 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 a claim julie warner doesn't totally agree with we need to get our jobs back i mean for the economy has not been stimulated like it should for the average person the
12:20 pm
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 that's just around thirty miles outside of washington d.c. but in many. way remember all the kids 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's to be your first take. before you take somebody
12:21 pm
. 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 cool. moment we hang out together we love each other but then next week the fight over health care. it's just like taking 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. a big kick in at each other again for americans like this
12:22 pm
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. i'll be back with a summary of our main news stories this hour for in about eight minutes from now on the business is next with dmitri. and welcome to business ok b.p. is going to court over b.p.'s plans to develop fields with rosneft claiming the deal breaches its agreements with the british oil major says its agreements cover all projects in russia and ukraine venomously news paper says the two sides must consult about any deals with third parties b.p. says it is acting within the law and will share all details of the deal with
12:23 pm
partners. well now let's cross live to richard swan from plots to discuss the route of the russian joint venture to be richard thank you very much for being with us what would you say doesn't really present a frets to the deal between rosneft and b.p. this claim i think it's pretty serious to me this is a legal claim lodged in london and it goes right to the heart of water. there's a lot of money tied up in team k b p and if to increase a very have a right to what b.p. now wants to do with rolls and you know you've got serious liability not the end of the road for b.p. but it's a big roadblock all right what will we see on the first of february do you think that the b.p. roll sniffed partnership will actually be watching what's happening there to you to find out what they do next. i think almost certainly it doesn't look like it would be a particularly long legal process so in
12:24 pm
a way that they're watching this it's very interesting that this is a very public dispute. they are who are b.p.'s partners in ten k. basically by filing this suit their public. the legality of a deal which has been indorsed by prime minister putin already let's not forget this is not the way you'd expect deals to be worked out in the rational sector or what do you think the. consortium is trying to actually do is it trying to block the deal is it trying to get a piece of the pie. both i think i think they would love to be in on this deal this deal gives b.p. access to a huge swathe of the arctic for exploration which it's looking to is part of its future growth prospects in partnership with rosneft tink a b.p. thinks it has the right to anything first anything b.p. wants to in russia according to their suit they're meant to run by team k b p first giving them the right of first refusal they didn't get that here they were
12:25 pm
presented with a rosneft deal is a pretty much fait accompli since when rosneft and b.p. have been at pains to say that there are no problems everybody is happy with this deal there's no problem with well clearly that wasn't quite true all right so what do you think b.p. and rosneft will be doing will be keep that line that everything is absolutely in accordance with the local legislation or will they try to look for a compromise i think for now going to sit tight they didn't want to be involved in this deal that's why they weren't b.p.c. this is a very long term play as part of b.p.'s corporate future not team k.b.p.s. that's very different from b.p. rosneft for its part it didn't want to make a b.p. it wanted b.p. alone as its partner in this project so they're not going to that's not going to change just because they filed a suit all right richard swann managing editor for platts thank you very much for your comments. the second day of divorce brings together world oil giants
12:26 pm
russia's top oil producer ross knapp and u.s. major exxon mobil have signed a deal to develop a deep water project in the black sea the company say even more energy projects are expected as our correspondent on your bullshit reports from devil's. it's been extremely successful day for russian business on all fronts as you say the one billion dollar deal for rosneft along with the world's largest oil company exxon mobil to develop black sea resources and they say they want to make this a long term wide ranging partnership which will look at all aspects of oil and gas throughout the country because it comes hot on the heels of all stories in russia approving pepsi co's bid for wimbledon russia's largest dairy for. consumer driven something that russia wants to move towards and ahead of wimbledon says he now wants to make the russian sour juice drink a fear a worldwide hit and exported all over the world so it's been
12:27 pm
a very successful day on all fronts of course the shares a lot of russia's joint privatization program shares being sold in the likes of v.t. be the top two banks in russia as i've been talking to to go and graf the head of sperm bank also inject post in the head of the t.v. you'll get millions of people around desperate to talk to them to find out more there's a real fascination with russia of course its growth rates are expected to exceed those in the west in europe in europe in european union countries and also in the united states so it's a real growth market that western investors are keen to tap at the moment. second quick look at the markets right now and some strong reports coming from a wide range of companies like caterpillar was reporting ruble doing water that's up one percent this on point two percent overall the market is flat in europe she has reversed early losses to trade well mixed the end the session mixed as you can
12:28 pm
see there you think down point one percent let's see but mining and automotive stocks were quite strong mount gains were limited because japan's credit rating was cut for the first time in nine years by standard and poor's as the election political. it will protect them. in russia a law making insider trading illegal finally comes into force. markets positive second look at some of the stocks when. at the close one point six percent as losses as the monopoly was still going to prove the purchase of the fruit company by pepsi. and russia's major stock exchange money hiked its bid for. trading platform yes to one point one five billion dollars it was to pay five percent in some of passion convert the rest into my six the russian trading system has not yet responded to. so and i will be back in one of those time as always.
