a suicide bomber blaze apart the packed arrivals hall at russia's busiest airport. my first thought was to get away a lot of people were living motionless even more people were being piled up near the first aid area some well ready dead they were dragged away a horrible picture. i looked at my watch and then flash and i passed out when i woke up there was a ringing in my ears it was a sour smell everything in ashes everyone was groaning three or four men were piled up on top of me the one directly above me was wounded in the chest he took all the shrapnel. amongst the thirty five dead people for many nationalities. added when the father's good includes the news too to marry the mother of his child correll buckhalter shelves wife watched him die in front of her on the airport floor around the world families now grieving for those who were saved brutally

killed. you're going to. have something very serious just. very. stark realization of the work of. god really with her but there was a true. story for. your parents a. very. investigators say they've now identified the man responsible but haven't yet released the name of. russian investigators and security services have identified the suicide bomber who detonated an explosive device stuffed with metal elements at moscow's domodedovo airport on monday it was a twenty year old man from russia's north caucasus although investigators know the terrorists' name we're not going to disclose it now as we're currently working to establish the organizers and accomplices of this crime north caucasus separatist groups and extremists have been responsible for similar deadly attacks in russia

the twin bombings of the mosque a match a less than a year ago was carried out by a terror group in dagestan. this attack has once again raised serious questions about the counterterrorism methods in russia and the airports and chancel to thirty's and the police have come under heavy criticism yet the russian response has been one of resilience just hours after the attack flights. and people have been visiting the hospitals today nate sears rick dorsey. those who committed this terrible act targeting citizens of different countries expected their actions to bring russia to it but they thought. russia was aware of its place in the world so russia will fulfill its obligations three hundred citizens and the world community unfortunately in the world is immune to terrorism terrorist attacks like this one in russia unfortunately can happen any time anywhere in the world there is no

universal remedy against this evil even the one thing we can say for sure success in battling this very much depends on solidarity in the official day of mourning both president medvedev and prime minister putin attended services all religions uniting to commemorate days he died in the attacks. continue to be laid at the site of the blast is a poignant reminder that in the war on terror it's once again ordinary people here on the front line in the scene of tragedy. and of mourning now it's time for. the international community. together now to fight this global terrorist threat so . it's not just our quest to seek out those responsible for monday's moscow suicide bombing on the top of the agenda russia is also working to any possible security lapses that may have helped the suicide bomber reach his target for better reports the country is adopting

a new anti terror warning system. as the dust settled the blame game began dhamma dead of a took the rap from russian authorities. yes with a number of airport officials sacked but international observers made more worrying conclusions the awful truth is is that there is no way to stop the terrorists in any capital the bases you have to there are certain things you have to do especially after attack but ultimately it's very very hard to protect all transport hubs in the capital city security at domodedovo has now been increased mandatory metal detectors and baggage x. rays accompany every entrance to the building this answers one question but poses another we're not actually allowed to film inside the airports anymore since security's been stepped up but one of the problems with the new stringent checks here is that a queue of people build up just inside the airport presents exactly the sort of

targets at trying to avoid these pictures were filmed covertly around fifty people are packed into a tiny space with queues ten minutes long before the explosion security here was no different to most other international airports only israel's ben gurion airport is considered more secure than any other with vehicle checkpoints fingerprint scanners and compulsory passenger interviews but such resource intensive measures aren't possible at larger airports domodedovo handle twenty two million passengers last year double that of ben-gurion so what's the answer in the first call if you want to promote security the second object you want to facilitate the flow of commerce and the third as you probably want to protect individual law privacy and the question and i would pose is where in the middle of the triangle do you want to make a law in or for russia's parliament it's about security this week the state duma gave preliminary approval to new anti terror warnings they modeled on the u.s.

system of color coded alerts created post nine eleven plot in the government just look how much we needed this system and why. of the damage of attack what everyone is saying is that there was no relevant information and now according to the war we will have to inform the society about the threats facing russia's determination in fighting terrorists has never been questioned but its methods have now has the system you must make sure it works on the bennetts r.t. moscow. the dominant of zero tragedy was the first issue addressed by the russian delegation to the world economic forum in davos but there are other issues on his agenda at the meeting of the world's financial power players all the details coming up. new light shed on the plane crash that killed polish president lech kaczynski last year more coming your way a few minutes. first though world leaders from europe and the u.s.

have urged egypt's president to refrain from violence at an act reforms and that ongoing riots there more than one hundred people were killed in anti-government protests that started on tuesday demonstrators are demanding regime change in the exit of hosni mubarak egypt's leader has appointed his first ever vice president and a new prime minister but refused to step down on saturday night thousands ignored the curfew and filled the streets reiterating calls for an end to barak's thirty year rule meanwhile diplomatic cables released by wiki leaks suggest washington to help those behind the uprising which is being linked with a western plan to overthrow the egyptian president or his policy or has more from cairo. so far more than one hundred people have been killed as mobile clinics throughout the city continue to operate they're treating wounded many of whom of apportionment they would be sent by police off to being a wasted now one of the most worrying developments is that of losing the cairo museum with his hip with monies they've been ransacked now the egyptian president hosni mubarak has tried to address protesters demands by appointing for the first

time in thirty years as the country's first vice president now that is almost a man who used to head the intelligence he had at the same time the new prime minister mr ahmed shafik he's a technocrat and he's from the aviation industry he's being tossed with forming a new government but speaking to protesters these moves are not going to do a lot to pacify them they say they want nothing short of the president himself stepping down the relationship between the united states and egypt has always been a complicated contradictory one. the wiki leaks documents refer to cables as far back as two thousand and seven and in those cables there is discussion where the american administration puts its weight behind opposition figures here in egypt while at the same time supporting the presidency of the mubarak now that is a clear example of double standards and there's also been a clear demi could balancing act that the american administration has been playing

now some of these cables refer to a muslim man who has just been appointed the country's new vice president they say that he makes to quote the lead and attractive alternative to mubarak but analysts here say that mubarak would only have appointed so many if he trusted him if he was to quote them rock solid the other point that analysts themselves have been discussing this is a question of just how spontaneous to these demonstrations in fact were you just didn't feel even school in tunis revolutions when hundreds of thousands of millions of people come out onto the streets at the same time. there's been no serious or immediate change to their standards of living lady for these demonstrations the needs chords you need to move the support of leaders getting money from foreign secret service now there's no denying that the demonstrations we've seen this week here in the egyptian capital have been partly inspired by what happened earlier this month there seems to be a message of hopefulness in the arab world that if you really put your heads

together and your actions together there was the possibility of overthrowing dictators who have been rumors floating around the last few hours difficult to independently verify them but they suggest that will barak's son gamal who he has been gearing up to take over the presidency after him has in fact have all the men with his mother mubarak's wife suzanne but as i said we have no way of verifying that at least not now. and while wiki leaks suggests a u.s. hand behind the current egyptian uprising it's not the first time washington has been suspected of involvement in regime change many believe the so-called colored revolutions that happened in post soviet space had american fingerprints artie's alexei or chevy takes a closer look at the similarities. georgio two thousand and three. and ukraine two thousand and 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 they're raised fist was one of their symbols if you look more closely you look at that in so called people who are leading those are being coached in the they're being coached by us 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 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 griese their country became divided on ideological issues nothing changed for the better it changed only to the world's victor usually 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 killed just on the revolution of two thousand and five also quickly turned sour last year so yet another popular revolt but those full

storms and bitter lessons are far from the minds of those clamoring for change in north africa. or not 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 danger lies in the personality of those who 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 increasingly stick newt will not take advantage of this situation if those are really people's movements they should not have let anyone into the it would then there's best hope would out as experts agree that it may take some time before the world will see whether the revolts indonesia and egypt will change things for the back in these countries just as they have a common opinion that if these uprising slope europe will be the first to suffer

as the investigation to the fatal crash in western russia that killed the polish president last april continues poland itself seems divided over home deploy new evidence has come to light that the former head of state himself like a chance gave the order to land the plane or his catarina as our reports. forced to land according to one article in a russian newspaper that was the cause of this man's plane crash which killed the polish president his wife and most of poland's political elite but the decision according to the paper's anonymous source wasn't made by the pilots or air traffic controllers the banner reverting to a backup airport was allegedly put in effect but the president himself one polish journalist whose name is not disclosed for o.b.'s reasons said that the special every asian regiment that flies v.a.p. passengers received a secret instruction which said the plane could divert only with permission from

its main passenger the rules state that the pilots priorities however should never have changed whether such instructions existed or not. what maybe could enforce such a rule you but i don't want to know about it because according to every existing rule and regulation the crew prepares the flight and until the point lands the pilot and not the president is in charge of every decision. poland is of course vehemently denying even the possibility of such instructions existing thanks for this information was for me unbelievable from the beginning but i ordered it to be checked and i've already received one hundred percent information but such an instruction didn't exist neither internal more general than that this statement however would have carried a lot more weight if it wasn't contradicted by the government spokesman. ben this is obvious that there are internal regulations in the division there is the head instruction which regulates the flights of the most important people in the country

. and the confusion doesn't stop here. or your. pilot had to back up airports minsky n.v. tips in this really says a lot about the quality of the cruise preparation because it wasn't even working that day. the official investigation found pilot error was to blame despite mounting evidence poland remains intent on pursuing its own investigation into the crash and trying to prove the russian air traffic control was also responsible action some say are only for political leverage ahead of the country's parliamentary elections polish aviation experts agreed with the investigation report and its findings and unless the politicians are willing to do the same instead of trying to shift the blame and gain voter support many more similar revelations could come to light placing the polls in an even more uncomfortable position ghastliness r.t. moscow. russia and the u.s.

are set to start scrapping their deployed nuclear arsenals the new strategic arms reduction treaty was finally ratified by both sides of the week and should come into force in a matter of days it was signed by presidents medvedev and obama back in april so what took it so long to get started or he's a republican off explains. 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 first the state duma and then the federation council gave the bill the green light now that it's 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 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 mans to become the symbol of the restart of the delusions 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 traced for months before president obama finally pushed a deal through the congress ended up making two 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 to. a very public.

on the war against three d. which of the rather strange but i think it was. a bomb and in most of the obama administration and basically i don't think that was so much of a pivot three d. russian deputies also made a non-binding. special statements legally 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 here is 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 the new 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 us to schools it's expected the leaders deal will open many new doors over 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 this going off r.t. moscow. both russia and the us ratified the same training about their requirements for ratification were different paul ingram from the british american security information council says both sides simply wanted to reserve their right to self defense in a worst case scenario. in the end it's the same treaty the same text and these these interpretations i think both sounds as if they contradictory but they are both accurate in the sense that there is clearly a link in the preamble of the treaty between defensive and offensive forces and so the russian duma is quite correct point to that link the us senate has said that there is nothing legal preventing the americans from developing missile defense but if the right the russians certainly have

a right to withdraw from the treaty should they should they deem their security to to be threatened and and these are points of fact of the treaty so it's not that they are ratifying two separate tree she is the same treaty is that in the end i think it's quite right to say that this is the first step in a very long process of confidence building and we said. to another some other stories making headlines across the globe in germany people have been killed dozens injured after two trains collided in the east of the country the accident happened when a passenger train a freight train crashed head on near the city of naga bird knocking wagons off the tracks several carriages carrying around forty five passengers overturned officials say it's too early to determine what caused the accident but they believe speed was a factor. in tunisia fresh clashes broke out between protesters and police as riot squads fired tear gas at stone throwing demonstrators people marched past a government building to call for the resignation of the newly appointed interior
