1:01 am
this is r.t. coming to you live from moscow i'm marina josh welcome to the program russia's parliament is due to consider a bill on a new terra combat system in the wake of the suicide bombing at the country's busiest airport that left thirty five people dead president harshly criticized law enforcement and airport authorities and fired several officials over security lapses which led up to the tragedy for more on the security shake up in russia we are joined now by was the state your moscow for us in good morning to you so what proposals will be discussed today. well at this point we may know there is no unified system of alertness when it comes to prevention of terrorism terrorist attacks in russia so that the the state duma is going to look at the new draft law which actually has been proposed in two thousand and seven but has not been
1:02 am
implemented really to unfold to the full extent since and of course after monday's tragic events at the domodedovo airport russian president dmitry medvedev said people. terry and basically have to get down to business and only have several days in order to start working on this draft law which was supposed to be looked out initially only in february but they're going to look at the ways to increase the preparedness for terrorist attacks in russia on this day now what are they going to look at first of all they're going to look at the levels of terrorist of terrorist danger in russia and their system will have to those levels color coded blue will mean that there is a high chance of a terrorist terrorist attack in russia a yellow will mean an increased level and red oval mean critical preparedness for the terror attack now these levels will only be determined by one person only in that person will be the president of russia and once he says that the one once he
1:03 am
pronounces one of those states of alertness to be implemented all the security bodies old security institutions in the country will have to come together and implement a unified plan of action now at this point as russia's federal security service has said there's no unified plan of action and they're actually have proposed a creation of a separate governmental body which will be responsible for carrying out all of these. all of the actions which have to be implemented in case of a and according to lurk an alert level and now the problem in terence have stressed time and again time and time again that the measures which have which will be implemented in case of a terrorism of a terrorist danger will not affect the rights and freedoms of ordinary citizens citizens in all we have to deal with the security services so these are the aspects
1:04 am
which will be looked at odds to day i had the most go state duma by the problem in terence in the first three days. brittany let's talk now about the investigation of the. so have there been any new revelations of the deadly terror attack. well at this point the investigative committee is keeping mum they haven't really said anything except for it yesterday the they did come out with one statement saying that the media is going into a frenzy with speculations and they really should keep silent until there is any official information provided by the investigative committee and that was the extent of it as far as the speculations by the media there have been more than enough of those the latest development is that at this point there is an unnamed source which has come out to the press and said that at this point it looks like the bomb which the. suicide terrorist used at the domodedovo airport was. was it as a bag of explosives packed with rocks with sharp rocks and couples now reportedly
1:05 am
this is the type of bomb which is which has been popular among the palestinian suicide bombers but whether or not that is something that the official version with also confirmed as yet unknown at this point as of now us thirty five people of course have been killed and more than one hundred remain in hospital still exactly rina so the question is about those now who are in hospital and be treated there what steps have been taken to help them. well out of the more than a hundred twenty the more than twenty million that robles have been allocated to help those who have been wounded and the relatives of those who died and in fact at funerals i will be taking place today all across most or at four different cemeteries no of course commemorative actions have also taken place there were commemorative auctions on tuesdays and on wednesday and actually yesterday and major coverage of meeting took place in the center of moscow at pushkin square
1:06 am
square more than three thousand people have shown up in order to remember those who died in those who have. suffered in the in monday's deadly attack at the domodedovo airport and my call he gets not a boy has actually spoken to some of those who were wounded in the explosion here's her report. devout muslims these to france usually pray five times a day but the domodedovo blast change it all ever since multiple shrapnel wounds bound them to hospital beds they've been praying nonstop. don't ask for is that i never have to work with such carnage again and they came to the airport to pick up their reality of flying in from to decus to on him is the explosion by several minutes and still can't make sense of what happened in the morning people who did it come up possibly call themselves muslims a true muslim should be striving to help others not killing innocent people those
1:07 am
who did it will answer for it before. yet for many of those whose life was damaged by the blast the promise of the almighty's routh is not enough the domodedovo airport had already been implicated in terrorist attacks in two thousand and four when two passenger jets were blown up me there is a version of it it's everyone who is in charge and makes decisions in the company the airport management must face justice. as some russians vented their anger with more enforcement for not being able to prevent their attack others through the initiative into their own hands hundreds of volunteers turned out bad blood than one thousand stations pawel is a first comer and explosion really seemed to prick his conscience. when something like this happened before i was concerned like everybody else but i never did anything to help but based on our thoughts i had to get involved instead of just bashing our security services and blogs. speculating while the tragedy at the
1:08 am
airport prompted many russians to ask what they can do for their country improving security is still the main thing their country can do for them. r.t. moscow. and still to come on the program this hour who's rocking the boat. it's the same footprint that we saw going back as far as serbia with. a look at why the anti-government unrest in islamic states may be just the latest in a trance going back a dozen years. at a report on causes of the recent global financial crisis has sparked anger over the authors of the meltdown the document released by u.s. investigative commission points finger at the country's economic i believe but as artie's lauren lyster reports previous experience showed those responsible are likely to go unpunished. it wasn't so long ago the world was reeling from
1:09 am
a financial crisis and in the financial capital of the world hard hit americans were calling for heads to roll on wall street and then he blamed irresponsible and illegal actions of big bankers for the economy's near collapse if i did that if you eat it but if you did that we couldn't cure. it was born from this mess the us president formed a bipartisan commission to get to the bottom of the crisis. it is our hope that together we can rebuild the american people's belief in a financial system to put some americans to work over a year they heard from stewards of the economy the most important lesson of this crisis is we have to end too big to fail they heard from c.e.o.'s of investment banks anyone who says i wouldn't change a thing i think is crazy. now the meltdown panel believes the answers to this outrage can be found here and five hundred plus pages of their findings it gives them enough room to point the finger everywhere for
1:10 am
a crisis they say was avoidable we do play special responsibility with the public leaders who are charged with protecting our financial system those entrusted to run our regulatory agencies and the chief executives of companies whose failures drove us to crisis but we believe that we must also as a nation except responsibility for what we permitted to occur dad as far as wall street specifically the dramatic failures of corporate governance and risk management at many systemically significant financial firms were critical causes of the crisis while blame is directed it wall street that's where we are right now the irony is though the new york stock exchange is here that's what you see behind me most of the big banks and investment firms people associated with the financial crisis aren't even here anymore they're spread out all over new york city so. just as wall street has become merely a symbol of the american financial industry so too is washington's condemnation of
1:11 am
it like we're seeing in this report the reality is we've seen this all before we've already seen congressional hearings where u.s. lawmakers interrogated bankers we've heard lawmakers threaten those in charge of the economy yet no one on wall street or that was watching over finance has faced criminal charges no one has really been held accountable and by many accounts nothing has changed about financial practices and most of the people who are in power before the crisis are still in power most of the business practices that you know other than a few things are still going on and now nearly three years after the crisis the opportunity for this commission to sway public opinion and make any difference to those practices has seemingly passed it by the chip itself the moments those political moments when everything comes together and you can pass this kind of comprehensive reform legislation our. little bubbles and they don't last very long
1:12 am
and when mr bush. so for the american people who wanted wall street held responsible these guys have looted the american economy the global economy they may not get the justice they're looking for five hundred pages and a year later a world once sent reeling by a financial system on the verge of collapse and maybe no more protected from it happening again i'm not sure that we can prevent it from happening again lauren mr r.t. new york. the director of the trans research institutes the latest report is nothing more than a bid to why watch the culprits. i mean come on only an eighty eight in brazil or an idealogue can see the deal all the wall street has hijacked was it's a whitewash like all the rest of them you know what's going to happen as they say no heads roll the only heads that every through role are we the people and
1:13 am
that's the way the deal works the police have become nothing more than enforces for the crime bosses look this is been going on a long time these commissions are nothing more than white washes who's running the commissions the republicans or the democrats the people who take the money from these stock brokerage firms from these investment firms but they have nice language for it they call them campaign contributions could any adult say. it's huge and look what's going on in europe it hasn't been solved remember they did the greek debt crisis ireland is in a depression in the u.k. we just saw the numbers come out oh unexpectedly they're back in recession look what's going on in tunisia in egypt you are seeing revolutions starting to break out debtor nations go into default and they cannot save the system by printing

only told. one soon. if you look more closely you look. that the 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 and ukraine or the roles revolution was saakashvili and in georgia a string of revolutions some bloodless some not rock the post soviet space at the beginning of the twenty first century there were a number of common fact is an uprising against the regime rooted in a popular dissatisfaction with standards of living hence the collective name colored revolutions amazingly the outcomes have been quite similar to six years ago key of independence square was the birthplace of the orange revolution it promised a new dawn and major changes for the country but ultimately all aspirations came to nothing. lawyer goody goody sudan is one of those disenchanted with the outcome of

the orange make over he says the bright promises of the revolutions leaders have in reality pushed the country into an abyss. and corruption in greece the country became divided on the. issue was nothing changed for the better it changed only to the world's. on the next elections revolutionary hero received only five percent of the world the lowest percentage for acting president of the world it was a similar story in georgia where they had the optimism of the rose revolution soon gave way to disappointment and eventually to mass protests their anger with president saakashvili was met with a response that was all too familiar as gas grenades and water cannons were used to quell the unrest and in kyrgyzstan the revolution of two thousand and five or so quickly turned sour last years so yet another popular revolt but those false dawns and bitter lessons are far from the minds of those clamoring for change in north africa. but without danger emerges when the power overturning the government which
1:18 am
they thought. illegal and autocratic like in the case of tunisia and egypt does not have a political platform and a government to put things in order in the country the danger lies in the personality of those who would desire to use the revolutions which happened in the arab world we have to take care of the far right or any other forces with an imperialistic mood will not take advantage of the situation if those are really people's movements they should not have let anyone into fear with their fares and that's what artists experts agree that it may take some time before the world will see whether the revolts in tunisia and egypt will change things for the better in these countries just as they have a common opinion that if these uprising is flawed europe will be the first to suffer from waves of immigrants. and the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe is calling for new
