1:06 pm
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 it doesn't it have been nato and russia have valid to what closely together in the fight against global terrorism that's a priority and has military committee chairman told r.t. the victory over terrorism is possible only if there is unity among the international community. we will raid the agreed that. the fight against terrorism is one of the meaning of vocal preaching the need to rush to work program what happened in the room monday is an even more and then the witnesses to the ins and so is increasing i would it diminish to all together to fight terror because terrorists as no like there's no call to rouge food so we need to work together to counter it to win it that's what we have to do old international community
1:07 pm

1:08 pm
consequences will be disastrous. there's more on russia and nato in our interview with the chairman of the federation council's foreign affairs committee because i 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. well here's a glimpse of what's coming your way in the next hour ninety. 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
1:09 pm
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 bilateral agenda 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. that interview coming away a little later here in r.t. the protests inspired by the revolt in chinese you have domino to lol egypt yemen and algeria and down all through the book full spectrum dominance says this wave of unrest has the same roots as the color revolutions seen in post soviet countries. 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
1:10 pm
u.s. financed and geos like. 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. that we saw a few days ago and now in egypt well we have a food crisis taking place that is the backdrop 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 the majority of this appears to be orchestrated very finally by by the technique that was perfected a nonviolent revolution by gene sharp's albert einstein. institute cambridge the same footprint that we saw going back as far as serbia with the ouster of milosevic
1:11 pm
. russia's own forces now reportedly have a brand new nuclear warhead at their disposal it doesn't violate any part of the recently signed reduction treaty with the u.s. and the design it says it will be able to beat any current missile defense system and any other being built these other bennett takes a look. 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 been 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
1:12 pm
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 independent 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 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 later this year they hope to commission and put into service a new boulevard which the c a 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
1:13 pm
a joint missile defense shield in europe and russia will be forced to come up with one of their own. bodies other bennett reporting there from moscow. on the second day of the devil economic forum in switzerland the russian economy has been at the center of much discussion it follows the russian president's opening keynote speech on wednesday the first time russia has been represented at the. by its leader to be to meet victims visit was shorter than planned due to monday's attack on doma is of import the bombing was the first topic he touched upon in his speech before turning to issues of preventing manly disasters and the wiki leaks revelations covers for lasts until sunday. and on the web site r.t. dot com we're asking what do you think people decide this forum in davos for just five percent of you think that the form is there to make the world a better place a third believe it's an excuse for the rich to get richer the expense of those not attending also you can see there on screen
1:14 pm
