you can see that the americans have done their bit but we also have finished these procedures for historic communal strategic arms reduction treaty between moscow and washington is becoming as real as ever after the russian president's science gratification documents. russia's parliament considers a new color coded warning system to prevent future terror attacks following the deadly suicide blast. and as the aftershocks of revolt roll through the greater middle east analysts draw parallels with the last decade's colored revolutions in the post soviet space.

with news from russia and around the world this is r.t. here in moscow what it's been a long time coming but finally a key nuclear reduction treaty between russia and the us has been fully approved by both sides prison dimitri medvedev signed the start ratification document on friday the last step in a lengthy process and. as this report. only a form of formal exchange of documents between the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov and us secretary of state hillary clinton is left before the treaty can officially step into power that's already planned as we're hearing for the fourth or fifth of february in munich. most of which this is a very significant event for our country due to agreements we have with the united states the americans have done their bit we also have finished these procedures both chambers of our parliament ratified the start treaty certain remarks were

taken into consideration to satisfy the parliaments on both sides but the most significant thing is that after the exchange of ratification papers between our foreign ministers it will define the size of cutting nuclear arsenals for the next ten years. speaking on a separate issue president meeting with you've also said that russia is keen to continue the negotiations on the defensive project just awaiting for nato reaction on this proposal but this is a historical deal death third such treaty between moscow and washington the first two or sorry back in one thousand nine hundred one and in one thousand nine hundred three with this latest one is set to reduce the number of strategic arms on both science by over one third so it's a significant step both in the relations between the two countries and in terms of global security sure the negotiations lasted initially for over a year then it took around nine months for the treaty to be ratified after he was

signed by the two presidents of the us congress did make some special statements as they're called are non-binding there will not affect the implementation of the treaty basically the congress outlined washington's right to modernize the remaining city g. forces and also. said that the studio not i thought that u.s. missile defense plans after it. ratified by the state congress this week the state duma first ratified it and then the federation council deputies have also made a special statement is it first of all securing moscow's rights to step out of this agreement if the writings by u.s. missile defense plans in europe and secondly they've outlined that the these recommendations and statements made by the u.s. congress are non-binding and they do not free washington from its obligations or is it in the street so these are once again non-binding recommendations and statements

they will not affect the actual implementation of the treaty we're just waiting for the formal exchange of documents now which will officially put it into force and that could happen as soon as early february. and the president of the new eurasia foundation in moscow says russia and the u.s. will easily overcome differences in the interpretations of the treaty if relations remain positive. of course there are differences and i think that in the way you. will depend on the overall state of political relations between moscow and washington even the political relations i get from becerra probably will not remember differences if interpretations that we cover right now if relations goes sour definitely if these differences will manifest themselves the good thing is

that both moscow and washington demonstrated that they are serious. about reducing their nuclear arsenal so they are committed so other. countries probably it now will find fewer excuses not to make their own steps in the direction of the non-nuclear world of course our arsenal saw still much bigger than that of other nuclear states but definitely demonstrated that we're headed to cover all part of the distance. on three quote you know of the president of the new eurasia foundation and. russia's parliament is considering a new warning system for the deadly suicide bombing of. a monday present in the team if it has already fired several officials have a security lapses which allowed the tragedy to happen. has more now from inside the state duma. as it stands right now russia does not have a unified system which will allow the country and the security services in the

country to act together in unison in case of a terror threat now that the system will be somewhat similar to the american system of warning 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 mean a high level and this third the final will be color coded red and it will be critical level also federal security service has proposed that a certain unified governmental body be created in order to act where that where and if any of these terror levels will be imposed on the country just look how much we needed this system in light of the damage of attack you know they are 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 rules we will have to inform the society both the threats facing the russian government has allocated more than one

hundred twenty million rubles to help the families of the victims and the wounded 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 horses who are 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 a boy has met with some of them devout muslims these to france usually pray five times a day but the jumma did have a blast. ever since multiple shrapnel wounds bound them to hospital beds they've been praying nonstop. don't you think or is that i never have to witness such carnage and. they came to the airport to pick up their reality flying in from to 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 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 use of those you have to teach everyone who is in charge and makes decisions in the company the airport management must face justice some report 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 anything stations carville is a first comer and 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 this time i thought i had to get involved instead of just

bashing our security services and blogs. 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. r.t. moscow where for more russia's airport security i'm joined from arizona by richard is a security expert at embry riddle aeronautical university thanks very much indeed for joining us let's start with this recent attack in moscow's airport there's been intense criticism of the security there but it's a lot in world class airport it's no different to other international airport so is blaming the security there actually fair. well i think there are three ways to answer the question point number one if it turns out there could have been valid intelligence information about the nature of the. information within our collection

been analyzed appropriately it should not be the security authorities to be blamed for people within the intelligence community point number two if there were intelligence information collected and analyzed showing the nature of what we're taking a look for in vulnerabilities i mean you know we're not protected to deal with and yes and the there should be blame out towards the security authorities and point number three the pentagon the information collected. with responded to. the nature of the warning. russia has other systems that may be changed in the future to communicate the nature of the threat to the general that might be implicated as well and if it is that other people may be involved the last point i'd like to make you may be aware that in the united states the nature of the security warning system and so is the process of change the director of homeland

security janet napolitano gave a public speech yesterday to the homeland security institution in washington d.c. about changing how homeland security is to make it to the general public in a direction i think will be more effective she is saying then the color coded warning system that's being considered the moment by the russian authorities the one which we see in the u.k. france australia for example do you think those systems are outdated and don't actually work is that wise being addressed again in the in the u.s. . well i support the direction we're going with the power of homeland security here in the united states and that is as opposed to having one color for the whole nation and you can specify a particular location and you can specify particular kinds. and you can communicate certain populations of populations the more specific you get in the communication i think the better off we'll be in dealing with the aviation terror threat and the homeland security terrorist threat in general let's concentrate on port security in

general though public areas there are examples for example in israel where airport security always appears to be in a state of emergency people are being scanned on approach as they come towards the airport do you think we're going to now see that sort of security intensified throughout the world now because clearly a lesson is going to be learned from domodedovo airport incident. well in my opinion when you look at the past airport security programs throughout the world you have layers of security on the tarmac. in future areas at checkpoints in uncontrolled areas what then the airport areas adjacent to even though you have layers of security different combinations of human observation and. technology security infrastructure usually before you go from the aircraft the quality and quantity of security decreases that should be modified depending on the nature of the threat and you understand the nature of the threat from the

intelligence information you collect to analyze but nevertheless when you're dealing with people are prepared to blow themselves up suicide bombers is it really possible to secure a public areas from attacks like this. it certainly is not possible to secure and protect all vulnerabilities and if you know port that is why intelligence collection and intelligence analysis is really crucial one other point about another crucial activity and that has to do with military per paramilitary intelligence often renditions identifying people who are far far away from the airport in apprehending or the way before the term to be implemented a suicidal terrorist operation. well we'll leave it there thanks very much indeed dr richard bloom fascinating hear what you have to say a security expert at embry riddle aeronautical university there joining us in arizona thank you for. well this is all t.

we're coming to live from the russian capital coming your way in just a few minutes from now. only in eighty eight in brazil are an idealogue can see the deal of. wall street has hijacked why should. the u.s. government report names of those responsible for the financial crisis but few americans believe it's likely to make any difference. but first the night curfew has been declared in the egyptian cities of karo alexandria and. tens of thousands of writers who continue to clash with police and military. it comes as internet access all across egypt is completely shut down and mobile phone service is reportedly off in some regions at least seven people have been killed during the turmoil it was inspired by the month long. rise you saw it's looted opposed eighty dead and a cabinet reshuffle. reports the images of angry protests in north africa there are some striking parallels with elsewhere.

georgio two thousand and three. ukraine two thousand and four. two thousand and five. and egypt twenty el of and think these are all completely different revolts well think again and not only because they're raised fist was one of their symbols if you look more closely you look at the people who are leading those are being coached in the they're being coached by u.s. intelligence services the same way the orange revolution was in 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 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 present their country became divided on. issues 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 in 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 stan the revolution of two thousand and five also 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 when 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 apt 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 imperialist acknowledge 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 that. 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. ski r.t. . the us government panel has issued a report which says the financial crisis was avoidable citing numerous mistakes behind it comes several months after new regulatory rules were imposed to prevent another meltdown. has been falling out many say washington will never learn from its own mistakes. 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 and then he blamed irresponsible and

illegal actions of big bankers for the economy's near collapse but i did that if you think that if you get down to. 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 the puts 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 of enough room to point the finger everywhere for a crisis they say was avoidable 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 are 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 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 financial practices 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 a world once sent reeling by a financial system on the verge of collapse us may be no more protected from it happening again i'm not sure that we can prevent it from happening again more in mr r.t. new york. jefferson n.t. 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 of the year wall street has hijacked was it's a whitewash like all the rest of them you know what's going to happen is they say

no heads roll you see goldman sachs gets. they get a slap on the wrist compared to their earnings bank of america gets fined for they had dirty dealings no heads roll the only heads of their research roles are we the people and that's the way the deal works the police have become nothing more that enforces for the crime bosses the big guys are off limits don't touch them they're the white shoe of boys and they can't bust the gangs on the streets. in wiley so who do they go after they go after us look this has 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 bribes and payoffs

. for that event of today for the moment it's coming up to twenty three minutes past the hour here in the russian capital to retreat waiting for us to give us the latest business news good to see dmitri so here we are friday end of the week now friday evening here in the russian capital now how would you assess the market's reaction to the turmoil that we've seen the tragic incidents there at the into the airport while there was quite some volatility monday of course when it all happened but then the market started recovering but overall the week was very uneasy because investors couldn't find ground to keep on buying stocks like we did the previous weeks well have more on that of course in the program but later on first of all on the heels of this economic speech at davos russia's president is calling for new legislation to be human that is promoting a draft bill to create an integrated by natural service regulator it will supervise both the financial markets and insurance companies to industries which were

previously wanted by different state bodies. so the leading wish. the regulator will exercise control and monitor all investment reduce surance companies it will also determine the rules of their operation eventually the financial regulator will be responsible for creating transparent and comfortable conditions for the business the respective draft bill has already been prepared to go to. as promised so it could be your stock markets in the united states actually still trading the commerce department said friday that u.s. cross domestic product grew at an annual rate of three point two percent between october and december despite that being up from two point six percent in the previous quarter we're seeing a negative reaction especially on the tech market in nasdaq down two and a half percent. domino effect in europe european markets ended the session down especially as you can see there negative reaction on the other foot sea in london all still depressed on the downgrade of japan's credit rating to. closing figures

for friday's session here in moscow we see the markets ended the week on a negative note overall the my six index ended the week point seven percent with trade uneasy as bulls couldn't find new reasons for the r.t.s. index actually gained an edge over the week but very very significantly second because of the stocks for friday's trade energy shares were leading the form my six investors are cautious as conoco phillips plans to sell the last two percent of its shares in nucor also russia's federal to monopoly service inquiry into the justification for world product pricing is adding tension but you see there very strong stock that's the bank of moscow up eleven percent one of the most volatile stocks of the week why is that this is because bank of moscow approved the president of the to be as head of its board now analysts say this effectively means russia's second largest lender has been given the green light to acquire the bag of moscow which was founded and owned surprising by moscow city government. he was the

first to express interest in the answers but then alpha bank claimed he wanted to buy one hundred percent of the land and now this sent prices up and down the seams of the bank has lost ricks. now despite a terrorist attack at one of moscow's airports on monday russian stock markets experienced a very subtle week of trading says stephen the chefs managing partner at chef skin part of. the russian market is finishing the week largely unchanged because over the. last couple of years it really has become much more driven by the external events rather than some internal specific factors and so together with global markets which have been largely flat over the last couple of weeks the russian market has been flat in some activity in gas prominent roles we see people switching out for example out of steels into some of the oil and gas names like gas prom and nafta overall there has not been

a lot of activity so for now next hour i will of course be here to update you on the latest figures for the u.s. markets a wrap up of the davus for plenty more you can find on our web site r.t. to come forward slash business see you next hour.
