russian parliament areas are mourning over ways to increase security in the wake of monday's deadly terror attack at the double digit airport more details just ahead. we do place 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. through no officially slammed as the cause of the meltdown wall street big ways are likely to go on harmed. and a common link experts are drawing parallels between the latest on the arrest in tunisia and egypt and a string of colored revolutions in the post-office space in the last decade.
3:01 am
eleven am in the russian capital you're watching our joshua welcome to the program russia's parliament is due to consider a bill on a new terror a combat system in the wake of the suicide bombing at the country's busiest airport at last 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 for more on this security shake up we now cross live inside the state duma for us here in moscow if we know what exactly will be discussed today one marine as a matter of fact in this as it stands right now russia does not have a unified system of warning or action in this in the case of the terrorist over the threat of a terrorist attack so that is what the proletariat are going to be looking at today a system which will allow the country and the security services in the country. to get. they're in unison in case of
3:02 am
a terror threat now the system will be somewhat similar to the american system of warning but it will be a lot less complicated and of course will differ in a lot more ways than that basically there will be three levels of terror threat which will be imposed in the country first level color coded blue will mean an increased level of a terror attack a second level yellow will be it will mean a high level and the third final level of a terror attack which will be color coded red and it will be critical level so these are the issues some of the things that we're provance here with looking at also federal security service has proposed that a certain unified governmental body be created in order to act where when any of these terror levels will be imposed on the country at this point as a sense right now there is no such unified body in existence and that provides some problems when it comes to cooperation between the federal security services the police and any other security service involved of course the only person who will
3:03 am
be able to impose any of those levels on the governmental level will be the president of the russian federation parliamentarians insist that such a system is is harshly needed and this was in the absence of us it was such a system was one of the reasons why the talk of the domodedovo airport happened this is what they have to say. just look how much we needed this system in light of the damage of attack you know they're trying to find the culprits and they will find them and the culprits will be punished some have already been punished but what everyone is seeing is that there was no relevant information and now according to the we will have to ensure in this society both the threats facing. and of course the reason for such a statement is because there were there were some statements which were made earlier which said that the federal security service was in fact aware of the attacks which were being prepared but as they were. as they were not affirmed they
3:04 am
did not announce about the possibility of such attacks which may have led to the terror to the loss of lives at the at the terrorist acts at the dozens of airports now the security system which will be imposed will not deal with airports alone it would also concern all sorts of other public transportation including the metro system moscow metro system and the similar subway systems existing in other countries in fact yesterday president said it has went down underground into one into the major one of the central stations at the most called metro and examine the security systems which were in place there and of course though there is some of them present at the spots there are still not adequate enough to prevent and you sort of terror attacks so at this point the russian police authorities and transport security authorities are going to be looking at ways to improve security at the airports and hold will all. public transportation systems in the country.
3:05 am
have there been any new revelations at this point for monday's terror attack on the marina at this point that the investigative committee which is dealing with the investigation has not really said anything at all except fourth on thursday he came out with a very harsh criticism of the russian media saying that they are basically going into into a frenzy bringing forth all sorts of possibility of possible theories and none of which have been confirmed by the police or the investigative committee and the members of the investigate this if you can we have asked the media to kind of slow down and stay quiet for as long as they can instead of whipping the public up into a frenzy of course there was a theory which is that these suicide bomber at the domodedovo airport was wearing a belt which was packed with stones and rocks the type of belt of course is highly damaging whether it is whether it explodes because. the rocks are incredibly
3:06 am
. are incredibly hard to pull out of human flesh a but the doctors at moscow's hospitals which are treating the wounded are saying that they have no knowledge no such no traces of such a bill being implemented so again that is also one of the many theories which are being floated around but is yet another theory as yet another theory which has been discarded. and dozens of people as you just mentioned were involved in the tragedy but what help was provided to those wounded in the blast and the families of the victims well the russian government has allocated more than one hundred twenty million rubles to help the families of the victims and the wounded of course that the funeral the funeral some of that money will go towards the funerals which are being held today in moscow and in the moscow region and of course a lot of that money will also go towards treatment of the wounded horse or still in hospitals more than one hundred people remain hospitalized and are being treated for their wounds which they received in the terror attack and my call the good son
3:07 am
a boy has met with some of them and this is her report. devout muslims these to france usually pray five times a day but the german did have a blast. ever since multiple shrapnel wounds bound them to hospital beds they've been praying nonstop. don't leave for is that i never have to witness such carnage again they came to the airport to pick up their reality of flying in from to on him is the explosion by several minutes and still can't make sense of what happened in the morning and people who did it come out possibly call themselves muslims a true should be striving to help others not killing innocent people those who did it. yet for many of those whose life was damaged by the blast the promise of the almighty 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
3:08 am
me there these are those who have to teach everyone who is in charge and makes decisions in the company in the airport management must face justice some report some brush and vented their anger with the 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 thousand stations pavel is a first comer and the explosion really seemed to pretty cute conscience because. when something like this happened before i was concerned like everybody else but i never did anything to help but based on the thoughts i had to get involved instead of just bashing our security services and blogs. speculating that while the tragedy at the 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 except avoid the moscow. are you watching r t live from moscow still to come for you this
3:09 am
hour who is rocking the boat. it's the same footprint that we saw going back as far as serbia would be removed but we all care why the anti-government unrest in islamic states may be just the latest in a tram going back a dozen years. every pore and 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 were calling for heads to roll on wall street many blamed irresponsible and illegal actions of big bankers. for the economy's near collapse but hard to get out if you
3:10 am
got if you get out we're going to jail 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 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
3:11 am
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 or 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 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
3:12 am
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 were 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 are these little bubbles and they don't last very long and we missed 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
3:13 am
a world once sent reeling by a financial system on the verge of collapse maybe no more protected from it happening again i'm not sure that we can be prevented from happening again lauren mr r.t. new york. and the director of the trans research institute says the latest report is nothing more than a bid to whitewash 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 are reserved through role are we the people and that's the way the deal works the police have become nothing more that 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
3:14 am
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 bribes and payoffs 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 printing more digital money not worth the paper it's not printed on. thank you have more on all of the stories we're covering here in r.t.e. on our web site that's our dot com here's a taste of what's there right now a story about corn based friendship between soviet leader nikita khrushchev and an

3:17 am
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 factors 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 increases the country became divided on. issues nothing changed for the better it changed only to the
3:18 am
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 then just on 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. or 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 the government to put things in order in the country the
3:19 am
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 interfere with their fares and. experts agree that it may take some time before the world will see whether the revolts indonesia and egypt will change things for the better in these countries just as they have a common opinion that if these uprising flop europe will be the first to suffer from waves of immigrants. the problem andrea soundly of the house of europe is calling for a new sanctions against the leadership of bell rose it falls to samaras disputed election which saw president alexander lukashenko europe's last dictator retain power in the protests to follow the vote six hundred people were arrested some of
