thank. you. rush improvement areas are mourning over ways to increase security in the wake of monday's deadly terror attack at the dillon dead of an airport more details just ahead. we do play special responsibility with the public leaders who are charged with protecting our financial system and the chief executives of companies whose failures drove us to crisis. officially slammed as the cause of the meltdown on wall street bigwigs are likely to go on harm. and a common link experts are drawing parallels between the latest on rest in tunisia and egypt and the string of color revolutions and posada it's the last decade. and b.p. is going to court. to develop optic fields with the will smith claiming the deal
2:01 am
reaches its agreements with the british oil major more in business in twenty minutes. this is our take i mean to live from moscow i'm marina joshua welcome to the program russia's parliament is starting discussion of 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 dmitry medvedev harshly criticized law enforcement and airport authorities and fired several officials over security lapses which led up to the tragedy well we're going to cross live to. more on this you know so what are the lawmakers focusing on today when marine as a matter of fact they have just started the session during which they will discuss ways to increase security and increase awareness of a possible terrorist attack in the country now at this point there's no no unified system of alertness existing in russia so what the problem interns are going to do
2:02 am
is to look at the draft law. which will seek to warn citizens. services secret services and special services in order to deal with a possible terrorist attack this is something akin to the american levels to the american system of this only it's more simplified there are three o. levels of threat which will be looked at first will be color coded blue that's an increase of possible terrorist attack second level of a yellow that will be a high level of terrorist attack and finally the third red level will mean a critical threat of a terrorist attack no there will be only one person in the country who will be able to impose any of those levels in the country and that person of course is the president of the russian federation also the federal security service has proposed
2:03 am
a creation of a certain unified structure or a governmental body which which will be dealing and acting in accordance with the with the level of the terrorist threats at this point there is no such body existing and of course after the deadly attack at the airports it was clear that something had to be done as a matter of fact president medvedev has said that the parliamentarians and the government only several days in order to look at the draft law which was first proposed in two thousand and seven but was not implemented until until basically now yesterday the russian president has gone into the moscow metro he went to one of the major stations of the very heart of this city and looked at the level of security provided at the station and though there are some levels of security obviously it looked like something else had to be done so the russian
2:04 am
transport officials and russian police as well as federal security services will have to implement some sort of further security says. not just at moscow's and russia's airports but basically all sorts of public transportation systems. the train stations in the metros basically everywhere where people are transporting themselves to and fro places all over the country so these are just some of the aspects which will be a looks. today. you know why do we know about the investigation and. well of this point you know what we have is the. investigative committee which is sort of centrally keeping mum about the whole investigation except for thursday they came out with a statement criticizing the media for going into a frenzy over possible. speculations of who may have committed the heinous terrorist act at the daunted of airports and how the investigation is going now the
2:05 am
latest of those speculations is the is a source which came to the russian press and said that it is possible that the bomb which was used by this suicide terrorist was containing lots of lots of sharp rocks and pebbles and that is the type of bomb which is usually favored by palestinian suicide terrorists now of course these are just speculations none of them have been confirmed the origin of the origin and the number of terrorists is also yet are known but the media are essentially having a field day with guesses and going to certain sources which is not leaving the investigative committee very happy and that is the situation that we have right now . and we know that also over two hundred people were affected by the bombing what health was provided to them. more than twenty million rubles have has been allocated in order to help those who were wounded in monday's attack and also to
2:06 am
help those who have lost their loved ones and the funerals actually have started taking place on thursday there will continue into today in fact. so the funerals of the victims of monday's tragedy will take place today in moscow. also of course more than one hundred people still remain in hospitals and my colleagues on a boycott has met with some of them and has prepared this report for us. 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. people who did it come up possibly call themselves muslims a true muslim should be striving to help others not killing innocent people those
2:07 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 is rare earth 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 made their 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 law 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 a king station's pawel is a first comer and the explosion really seemed to pretty cute 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. escaping while the tragedy at the
2:08 am
airport prompted many russians to ask what they can do for their country. improving security is still the main thing that country can do for them except avoid r.t. moscow. still have for you this hour who's rocking the boat. it's the same footprint that we saw going back as far as serbia with the group most of which i will look at why the anti-government unrest in islamic states may be just the latest in a tram going back a dozen years. before that a report of the 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 elite 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 a financial crisis and in the financial capital of the world hard hit americans
2:09 am
were calling for heads to roll on wall street and then he blamed irresponsible and illegal actions of big wig bankers for the economy's near collapse that if you got if you did that we could. it was born from this mess the u.s. 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 a crisis they say was avoidable we do play special responsibility with the public
2:10 am
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 associate 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 condemnation of it
2:11 am
like we're seeing in this report the reality is we seeing 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 the natural 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 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 and we missed
2:12 am
ours. 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 may be no more protected from it happening again i'm not sure that we can prevent it from happening again lauren lyster r.t. new york. and terence landing as the director of the trans research institute says that latest report is nothing more than a bit too wild watch the culprits. i mean come on only an eighty eight in brazil or an idealogue can see the deal. wall street has hijacked was. it's a whitewash like all the rest of them you know what's going to happen if they say no heads roll the only heads that are reached through role are we the people and
2:13 am
that's the way the deal works the police have become nothing more that enforcers for the crime bosses look this is big going on alongside these commissions is nothing more than white wash 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 revolution starting to break out you are seeing debtor nations go into default and they cannot save the system by

north africa. who are no danger emerges from the power overturning the government which 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 that 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 interfere with their fares. 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 slope europe will be the first to suffer from waves of immigrants let's see. now the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe is calling for
