for thirty t.p.m. on the twenty fourth of january a suicide bomb that plays a part the packed arrivals hall at russia's busiest airports. my first thought was to get away a lot of people willing motionless even more people were being piled up near the first aid area some world already 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 ash is everyone is groaning three or four men were piled up on top of me the one directly above me it was wounded in the chest she took all the shrapnel. amongst the thirty five dead people for many nationalities days made it when the father's golden koos then his tea 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 the days who will say precisely calles. they're going to. have some very very serious just. very close to the start paralyzation sort of work up or go to work for there was a two way street for. their 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. 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 transport authorities 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 blood's sears rick dorsey were sure. those who committed these terrible acts targeting citizens of different countries expected their actions to bring russia to its knees but a little wrong with russia's aware of its place in the world russia will fulfill its obligations towards its citizens and the world community unfortunately no state in the world is immune to terrorism terrorist attacks like this one in russia unfortunately can happen at any time anywhere in the world there is no universal

remedy against this evil but one thing we can say for sure our success. depends on solidarity. and the official day of mourning but president medvedev and prime minister putin attended services all religions uniting to commemorate days who 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 who are on the front line it's been a scene of tragedy. and of mourning now it's time for action and a message to the international community to stand united away together now to fight this global terrorist threats so. terrorism expert with jane's defense. was flawed it's tough to make any transport

completely safe. if you look at the kind of the sheer scale of some of the transport networks in moscow itself the size of major train stations of airports it's very difficult to enact security that can really be hundred percent foolproof the thing is even the most advanced western countries such as the united states say there's always going to be weak links in the transport section in the areas where public people gather and there's always going to be opportunity for terrorists to strike at these it's impossible to completely safeguard against terrorist attacks i although clearly they do seem to skew to measures in place at the airports weren't quite as as they should be in the run up to this attack russia's also inspecting any possible security lapses which may have helped the suicide bomber reach his target on monday as artie's ivor benner of ports the country is adopting a new anti terror warning system. as the dust settled the blame game began diamond dead of a took the rap from russian authorities 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 or cuts 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 is 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 target drawing 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 handled 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 is you probably want to protect individual our 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 there. modeled on the u.s. system of color coded alerts created post nine eleven in the government just look how much we needed this system in light 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 are the bennetts r.t. moscow. the dominant of a tragedy was the first issue addressed by the russian delegation of the world economic forum in davos but there were other issues on his agenda at the meeting of the world's financial powerhouses we've got all the details coming up. plus a light shed on a plane crash that killed the polish president lech kaczynski last year find out more in a few minutes. first we go to egypt where more than ten protesters were killed in clashes with police in the early hours of sunday bringing the death toll of the nationwide up bringing up rising to more than one hundred the country has shut its border with the gaza strip made growing tension this is the sixth day of riots

against president hosni mubarak's three decade rule in response to the turmoil mubarak appointed his first ever vice president and a new prime minister but has so far refused to step down for the leaders have urged the president were free from violence and enact reforms meanwhile diplomatic cables released by wiki leaks suggest washington to help those behind the uprising which isn't 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 by treating wounded many of whom are reporting that they would be sent by police off to being a wasted and one of the most worrying developments is that of losing the cairo museum with music with mummies they being ransacked now the egyptian president hosni mubarak has tried to address protesters demands by appointing for the first time in fifty years as the country's first vice president now that is almost a man who used to head the intelligence yet at the same time the new prime minister

mr ahmed shafik he's a technocrat 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 hosni 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 almost solomon who has just been appointed the country's new vice president they say that he makes to quote the leaks and attractive alternative to mubarak but analysts here say that mubarak would only

have a point of cinnamon if he trusted him if he was to quote them rock solid the other point that analysts themselves have been discussing is the question of just how spontaneously is demonstrations in fact were you just didn't believe in 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 ready for these demonstrations the need chords you need soon support leaders getting money from foreign secret services 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 in true mizzy 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 overthrown dictators who have been rumors floating around the last few hours and difficult to independently verify them but they suggest that all barak's son gamal whom he has

been gearing up to take over the presidency after him has in fact traveled to england with his mother mubarak's wife suzanne but as i say we have no way of verifying that at least not now. artie's paula so we're reporting from cairo rule be bringing you more on the situation in egypt throughout the day remember for the latest updates you can always check out our website www dot com here's what's online for you right now. a record at your own risk in today's high tech world it's a lot easier to film anyone including police but in the u.s. you could get arrested and even jailed for it. if you need a man about the house but don't have one that's a chance now you can write one the number of russian companies give ladies who need . to hire a husband and you can take care of all the handiwork. and plus a leading russian maestro of all of you get it he was the busiest conductor of twenty two and he's given no fewer than eighty eight concerts and performances

across the planet in one year has no plans to slow down. as the investigation into the fatal plane crash in western russia that killed the polish president last april continues poland itself seems to be divided over whom to blame new evidence has come to light that the former head of state himself lech kaczynski actually gave the final order to land the plane archy's catarina has more . 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 dive 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. maybe kaczynski enforcer to rule it but i don't want to know about it because according to every existing rule and regulation the crew prepares the flight until the point lands the pilot and not the president is in charge about every decision. poland is of course vehemently denying even the possibility of such instructions exist 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 did not

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. and 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 their ports minsky n.v. tips in this really says a lot about the quality of the cruise preparation because i wasn't even working that day. the official mr gage and found pilot error was to blame despite mounting evidence poland remains intent on pursuing its own investigation into the crash and trying to prove that the russian air traffic control was also responsible actions some say are only for political leverage and 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 game voter support many more similar revelations could come to light placing the polls in an even more uncomfortable position. ghastliness r.t. moscow. in bellerose former presidential candidate vladimir has been released on bail after being detained during the violent protests in december on saturday the wife of another former candidate was also released pending house arrest many more have been freed despite being accused of instigating a violent outbreak after alexander lukashenko won the country's disputed presidential elections six hundred people were arrested in total some of them badly beaten you has been urging others to at least members of the opposition who've been detained for political reasons they demanded the country investigate the police of actions of security forces against demonstrators instead the parliamentary assembly of the council of europe as part of the new sanctions against belarus over its

violent treatment of the opposition nuclear shank ohad said that he would retaliate if any action was taken against the country and european union boycotted his inauguration with many nations opting to distance themselves from the ceremony for russia and the u.s. are set to begin scrapping their deployed nuclear arsenals the new strategic arms reduction treaty was finally ratified by both sides this week and should come into force in a matter of days it was it was signed by presidents medvedev and obama back in april so what took it so long to get started this kind of 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 lukes first the state duma and then the federation council gave the green light now that it's signed by the president only a formal exchange with ratification documents is left before the new store 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 form 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 in effect other countries as decision making as well managed to become the symbol of a 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 us republicans fell into opposition demanding amendments and the internal disputes stretched for months before president obama finally pushed a deal through the congress ended up making two so-called special statements 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 third of the republic bought all this in the war against three d. which of the rather strange but i think it was. a barbara and most of 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. 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 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 by reducing the number of strategic arms russia and the united states are enforcing their strategic partnership at least for the next decade. both russia and the us ratified the same treaty but there are acquirements for ratification where 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 i mean it sounds as if they are 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 the

russian duma is quite correct point the us senate has said that there is nothing illegal preventing the americans from developing the france. the right the russians certainly have a right to withdraw from the treaty should 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 treaty was 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 saw. in the southern russian region of dagestan a potential terror attack was thwarted after police found two homemade explosive devices the bombs were found found in a private residential area near easier bash officials said that one of the devices had already been dismantled and poses no risk the other explosives being neutralized the area has been cordoned off as police continue their work this week
