the russian president science gratification documents. hello and welcome to r.t. trying to follow news live from moscow. on the story now tens of thousands of egyptians continue to clash with security forces in defiance of a national. at least eighteen people have died during four days of nationwide protests there sorties have cut off internet access blocks mobile phone service in some areas troops are trying to enforce a cafe in the capital cairo where the routing policy is h.p. was torched five demonstrators within the last hour president hosni mubarak said he's to dissolve the government that made. leave office himself and arrest major

comes weeks after a month of me also in tunisia which saw eight dead and the president being toppled to full fleeing into exile and political scientist even a coach says they turmoil could affect not just north africa but europe too. well if everything breaks apart and particularly in the french speaking of north africa that could lead to massive waves of immigration and that is a worry for europe especially the european countries on the northern shores of the mediterranean spain and france and italy but the france would be the major part of destination for these waves of immigrants because a most of them also have some friends who 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 is extremely worried about this or could be worried about it it is france. on those north africans continue to take to the streets all season excite yourself ski takes a look at similar events in the not so distant parts. georgia 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 talking freely and in georgia a string of revolutions some bloodless some north to rock the boat soviet space at the beginning of the twenty first century there were a number of common factor 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 sedan guy 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 of their country became divided on the. issue was nothing changed for the better it changed only to the world's victor usually 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 the heady 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 also quickly turned sour last year 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 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 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 acknowledge will not take advantage of the situation if those are really people's movements they should not have let anyone in to feel with death

theirs and that's without us 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 is flawed europe will be the first to suffer from waves of immigrants. look she will show you all see. and remember you can have your say on that story and on our website home and hear some of the feedback we've received from you so far the best days and done but it was all the days of those his stall from the people of egypt and love the population poverty and hunger a big government in a shaky ground on their way out both opposition can imagine it un-american and prefer citizens took to the streets demanding the heads of those who battle caltex they world economy this is what is happening in japan now get involved in the debate by leaving your comments on any other stories at all.

you. are stadium is considering a new terror alert system following monday's bomb at a mosque is demanded of a court in which thirty five people died president dmitry medvedev has already applied several officials of a security lapses related to the tragedy reno going to. 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 is 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 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 rule 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. for is that i never have to witness such carnage again they came to the airport to pick up their reality flying in from to john he missed the explosion by several minutes and still can't make so. and so 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

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. way to 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 thousand stations pawel is a first comer and the 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 the thought i had to get involved instead of just bashing our security services and blogs. everything went well 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. and steven lord's direct so homeland security have the u.s. government accountability office believes 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 turn in staff you need all three to have an effective system and in some of the

press articles i read this week about the recent incident in moscow i had questions about whether. some of those those required actions were actually being taken. until to richard blue that angry rail every nautical unified stand there is and it says none are so how sophisticated the techniques responsibility for preventing appetites is not down to security officials and. it certainly is not possible to secure and protect all vulnerabilities and i think you know ports 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 turf our military and intelligence also in support regimes identifying people who are at the right. or away from the. people that way before they go to the training to be implemented and suicidal terrorist operations. to check some other major headlines

from around the world thousands of others have taken to the streets across italy to protest against new work we'll listen to you see our plants many of the demonstrators coming from other sectors affected by they can only crisis which has hit italian industry hard meanwhile in portugal activists and workers protested in the capital lisbon overload pay the government is being blamed for not doing enough to fulfill a promise to increase the minimum wage in the. town of oso side gone has killed at least nine and injured six at a supermarket used by foreigners in central kabul a gunman opened fire before blowing himself up in the tucking of the british embassy three no afghans and a child were among the dead with the taliban saying it was targeting american security contractors violence in afghanistan i think it's worse level since the u.s. led invasion in two thousand and one. it's been a long time coming but the world's fast nuclear arms concentrating to decades has

been approved by russia and the us president dmitry medvedev signed this start ratification document on friday with hopes it would come into force next month going off reports. 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 their nukes which is leisure 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 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 a same level of nuclear weapons because we read fairly insane levels during the cold war i think it will have real irrational implications in effect other countries as decision making as well managed to become the symbol of the 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 a good 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 bamma and in most of the the obama administration and basically i don't think that was so much of it three d. 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 us congress do not free washington from its obligations they hope that the coming years will show that both americans and us 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. this close it's expected the leaders deal will open many new doors of opportunity also moving forward on the russia's 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 us going off r.t. moscow. well your presides up next all she's motion under is looks for her taste of russia in the very heart of the u.k. .

hello and welcome to the shop. i'm from. here in the one. changing. the streets of london.

for centuries. a facilitation is a quintessential british. green it has been no grants here for maybe three hundred years it's a fine day so mr densher business. area in the early twentieth century it was a whole range of leftism. originally known as the crown and anchor public house then he drank here he published a russian social democratic east paper to the spot not far from here during his exile in london. the good old english pub everyone loves me including possible leaders lenin visited london six times between the lines you know to ninety eleven allegedly then in silence for the first time inside this pub these two it must library just down the road these three can have

a lot of strength elsewhere. and i think you believe you use them because so this is a very leftist sort of area and we have we have a lot of tourists coming in just because of that side. however there's a new story but then first mr allen at the bullshit congress sort of spilling a nine hundred five i don't wake many feet legs and pukki is in london still very relevant today. the cultural center pushkin house was founded in one nine hundred fifty six everything that catered in notting hill and moved to this new bag in bloomsbury square in two thousand and six now they have over four hundred members or friends as they're called and every month they have a range of cultural activities including exhibition is concepts and actions pushing house was established to serve as a showcase for russian culture in london focused. cultural exchange.

sent to provide educational information in russian language and culture and is an excellent resource and networking center for individuals and institutions. people coming in a lot of different people russians know russians alike we welcome everybody from from central asia. that used to be part of the soviet union that's very important for us to know if it's a wonderful people coming in here people like people like there is only one of the biggest group in chicago for the great bob musician who's been here three times sometimes he comes who tries out his new songs with us before he recalls that which is fantastic finds came here and read a short story by check of. course came here. came here so it has some really wonderful people and they come here they enjoy coming here and we look after them and that's how i see push the house you know in the years to come besides its own events pushkin house welcomes and encourages cooperation with

other institutions and groups dedicated to russian culture to rethink resource right in the center of london's west end. case is an exhibition space in st james. is on display today the focus is and when she first century person artists. to the revolution and sure it sounds iraq showcases works by abstract nine hundred fifty s. a non-conformist i want to see first and to the western european art scene in the one nine hundred eighty s. . we tried to show kids and explain this art to russian immigrants mainly to. travel between russia and other european countries but it is also very important for us to attract the attention of the native british to the culture we represent.

the russians are famous around the world for the love of parties crazy night life. is the club in circus known as one of the main v.i.p.'s and celebrity party spots in the bush proposal it has several separate spaces and don't feel the parties often organize my. and. i can see that every time i tune to anyone from the u.k. you're right they start to respect trust us more and more for the power that they have to be cultured group is and for that they are to see the cheap and that they really cheap and long and they starting best universities to go to the best and i think the russians. actually become a kind of the trend in a lot and. there are some a shock to them in what you can buy russian food for the machines your. posts

traditional delicatessen not any groceries but. they made fresh dishes including. the cakes various salads and soups including food bush using. the venue chefs combine traditional recipes with some. healthy eating. and that brings us to this week's guests. real everything me close to me now tell me how to do on the pier in the. americas in the sky. as it happens and i was working. working for a television. news program. and. i spoke quite good english my husband didn't speak i knew. he's also an academic

and it's quite difficult to find a job. so you're working fulltime business developer but you also work as a narrative for a magazine. how about this this is our this is this magazine started ten years ago by a couple cool. by then you already had a successful run a newspaper which was the first russian language newspaper now there are several but we won't worry about that. and this started as just a glossy supplement to direct serial businesses and tourist come travel agents and and soaps where you can buy russian produce and books and various things and over the years it developed into a proper work fortunately glossy magazine aimed at. firstly the huge russian speaking community in this country also people who are interested who are

brits who are interested in learning russian and finding out about the scene and the personalities and what's going on and various other things like we. have photographer was the result of talent russian talent in this in london and in other parts of the case and we hope what the magazine showcases a i'm not in the magazine is in russian it is in russian and yes i. ride the edge to century edges let's zero in two languages so for example for prospective advertisers they can get an idea what's the quantum so the magazine is then and for anyone who is interested who doesn't speak russian can see what. was in the. magazines read to suit players currently about twelve thousand people. but with call for million russians live in all russian speaking people. is the

estimate live in this country we hope but there was room for expansion and people will more and more people will enjoy reason and right there is no reason to love it to me to learn everything and to very much like to play the best. our final location is the restaurant located on german street in the heart of london's west end. dishes from around the world including the selection of russians through. such cuisine. all of. the fell in love with the boys and since. six to. make it russia. for them.
