revolution further from prizing spread through the middle east with tens of thousands clashing with police in egypt look at how europe could be affected. by the parallels are being drawn with the last decade's colored revolutions in the post soviet space including common symbols and common dissatisfaction. russia's parliament debates ways to prevent further terror attacks and considers a new color coded warning system in the aftermath of the deadly suicide blast at moscow's airport and. salute. the americans have done their bit we also have finished these procedures this story can you arms reduction treaty between moscow and washington is becoming as real as ever after the russian president signs gratification documents.

with news from russia and around the world this is r.t. here in moscow tens of thousands are continuing to clash with police and military on the streets of egypt despite a night curfew being imposed. three people have reportedly been killed in the city of suez bringing the death toll up to ten it comes as internet access all across egypt is completely shut down a mobile phone service is reportedly off in some regions the rest was inspired by the months long chaos in tunisia where uprising saw its needed to post eighty dead and a cabinet reshuffle political scientist dr stephen which says the turmoil could spell trouble not just for north africa but for europe. well if everything breaks apart and particularly in the french speaking north africa that could lead to massive

waves of immigration and that is a worry for europe especially of the european countries in the northern shores of the mediterranean spain and france and italy but the france would be the major part of this nation for these waves of immigrants because most of them also have some friends they speak french after all these countries were part of the former french empire and they're also in france a lot of arabic speaking population and so if any country who is extremely worried about this or could be worried about it is grand. as the clashes in north africa continue ati's alexy has cesky reports now on how they bear some striking parallels with elsewhere. george year two thousand and three. and ukraine two thousand four. cutest on two thousand and five. and

egypt twenty eleven i think these are all completely different revolts well think again and not only because a racist fist was one of their symbols if you look more closely you look at 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 an in ukraine or the roles revolution was saakashvili and in georgia a string of revolutions some bloodless some not rock the boat 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 their 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 sedan 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 to the better it changed only to the world's. on the next elections revolutionary hero received only five percent of the world the lowest percent. 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 killed just on the revolution of two thousand and five or so quickly turned sour last year or 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 not 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 the government apt to put things in order in the country the danger lies in the personality of those who desired 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 acute will not take advantage of this situation if those are really people's movements they should not have let anyone interfere with their theirs and that's popularity as experts agree that it might 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 let's see russia ski artsy. remember you can have your say on that story on our website that's dot com here's some of the feedback so far we've had on this received by you one of the most recent comments says the color revolutions were instigated by the cia americans don't care who they support as long as they get what they want democracy is america's bad joke on the rest of the world considering it installs more dictators than any other country that's one comment therefore you get involved in the debate by leaving your comments on that or any other story. dot com. if. you.

russia's parliament is considering a new terror warning system following the deadly suicide bombing at moscow's don't like that of a monday president meeting me that has already fought several officials over security lapses which the tragedy to happen i mean we're going to go has more now from inside the state duma as it stands right now russia does not have a unified system of warning or action which will allow the country and the security services 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 the third fire no it 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 when and if any of these terror levels will be imposed on the country you know just look how much we needed this system in light of the demanded 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 way we will have to ensure in this 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 horse who are still in hospitals more than a 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. a nonstop. don't ask for is that i never have to work with such a car 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 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 me there. to teach everyone who is in charge and makes decisions in the company the airport management must face justice some of

. the 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 a few stations pawel is a first comer and the explosion really seemed to pretty cute conscience it is worth going from 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. 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 excel avoid r.t. moscow stephen moore director of homeland security of the u.s. government accountability office but to prevent terror attacks technology needs to be more creative. terrorists are very versatile versatile and adaptive i think you

always have to think one step ahead you have to employ unpredictable techniques don't use the same technology screening procedures in every airport in every case besides the unpredictability i think it's useful to think in terms of three three levels of security number one is the technology effective number two do you have rigorous screening procedures in place and three do you have well turning staff you need all three to have an effective system and then some of the press articles i read this week about the reason and so down the mosque i had questions about whether. some of those required actions were actually being taken. we'll talk to richard bloom is security expert at embry riddle aeronautical university in arizona says no matter how sophisticated the techniques responsibility for preventing airport attacks is not down to security officials alone. it certainly is not possible to secure and protect.

you know port that is why intelligence collection and intelligence analysis it's probably crucial one other point about another crucial activity and that has to do with military terms our military and intelligence often so far identifying people who are a threat far far away from the what can people the way before the term be implemented a suicidal terrorist operation. time now for some other major headlines from around the world and tens of thousands of workers taking to the streets of italy to march against recent changes to employment law and job security protests with us by using human rights groups and in portugal activists and workers gathered in the capital of lisbon to test low salaries the government is being blamed for not doing enough to fulfill its promise of increasing the minimum of. an explosion has killed at

least eight people as it ripped through a supermarket in central kabul not far from the british embassy among the dead the three foreigners and a child six others were injured the taliban has claimed responsibility saying that it was targeting security contractors it comes as violence in afghanistan reaches its worst level since the u.s. led invasion in two thousand and one. but it's been a long time coming but finally keep nuclear reduction treaty between russia and the us has been fully approved by both sides prison to be signed the start ratification document on friday that's the last step in a lengthy process. as this report. after more than a year of hard line negotiating and ten more months of internal dispute it's finally done moscow and washington are stripping down the nukes. missile 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 first the state duma and then the federation council gave the bill. the green light

now that is signed by the president only a formal exchange of ratification documents is left before the new start comes into force for the next ten years many hope it will not only restrain the two nuclear superpowers but become an example for others to follow this first of all is about the security of the united states and the security of russia this is about unwinding the excesses of the cold war this is about bringing both countries back to the same level of nuclear weapons because we reach really insane levels during the cold war i think it will have real international implications and affect other countries as decision making as well managed to become the symbol of a restart of the lesions between moscow and washington the deal was initially backed by both presidents but it didn't come easy most of the u.s. republicans fell into opposition demanding amendments and the internal disputes stretched for months before president obama finally pushed the deal through the

congress ended up making to so-called special speedman securing washington's right to modernize its remaining strategic arms and insisting the deal would not affect america's missile defense plans but the statements are non-binding meaning they will not affect the actual implementation of the deal the original text remained untouched but unfortunately for the first time. very public. in the war against three d. which of the rather strange but i think it was. a barber and most of the obama administration and basically i don't think that was so much of it three do russian deputies also made non-binding special statements illegally linking offensive and defensive weapons which was one of the main stumbling points in the negotiations secured moscow's right to step out of the agreement if it feels threatened by u.s. missile defense plans in europe. and stressed statements previously made by the

u.s. congress do not free washington from its obligations they hope that the coming years will show that both americans and russians show responsibility in fulfilling these obligations and that will create a new spirit of mutual confidence and trust then you start is not the first such agreement between moscow and washington the first two were signed in one thousand nine hundred one and in ninety three but neither managed to bring russia and the u.s. to schools it's expected the leaders do you will open many new doors of opportunity also moving forward on the russians w t o accession america is very supportive but it's not enough we have to have more time as we have to have more docking mechanisms we have to have more bridges the more dependent we are the better it is for our future a future which has become

a little clearer the exchange of the ratification documents officially enforcing the new start could happen as soon as the fourth of february even though the treaty is set to reduce the number of strategic arms by over one third it still leaves both the nuclear superpowers with enough warheads to blow the entire planet into a different solar system so perhaps it's not numbers that the new start is all about but trust by reducing the number of strategic arms russia and the united states are in forcing their strategic partnership at least for the next decade you've got the spin off r.t. moscow. brings up today for the moment just turning seventeen and a half minutes past the hour here in the russian capital about with the summer home a news in and about twelve minutes from now in the meantime martin andrews looks for a taste of russia in the very heart of the u k. a
