our review of the we here on r t russian investigators identify the man who committed the deadly suicide attack on moscow's domodedovo airport and say he was from the north caucasus well in the wake of the blast a new anti terror alert system is being considered. the key nuclear arms cuts deal between moscow and washington is to come into force within days after the start treaty receive the final seal of approval from both sides. and the world is calling

on egypt to put a stop to violence as the anti-government uprising kills over a hundred protesters clashes and lootings raging across the country. you're watching r t six pm here in moscow it's good to have you with us well they've identified the bomber now the investigators of the deadly terror attack on moscow's main airport are stepping up their hunt for the people who organized it it's almost a week since a twenty year old man from the north caucasus set off the bomb but. it claimed to thirty five lives and over one hundred remain in hospital. looks back on the day terror returned to russia's capital. on the twenty fourth of january a suicide bomb that delays of the past two rivals. 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. and 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 was wounded in the chest she took all the shrapnel. amongst the thirty five dead people for many nationalities they've made it we need this golden koos lenders to 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 the days he was safe brutally killed. you're going to. have some very very serious

just. very. stark realization of the work of god that really was for there was a true. story for. our part sometime. very soon. investigators say they've now identified the man responsible but haven't yet released the name of. the russian investigators and security services have identified the suicide bomber who detonated an explosive device stuffed with metal elements of 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 they carried out by

a terror group. this attack has once again raised serious questions about the counterterrorism methods in russia and the airport 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 flight. and people have been visiting the hospitals today nate blood sears' rick doorsill sure. those who committed this terrible acts targeting citizens of different countries expected their actions to bring russia to its knees but little iran is 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's 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 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 who are on the front line in a scene of tragedy. and of mourning now it's time for action and the message to the international community to stand united away together now to fight this global terrorist threats so. dan a summit a london based expert on terrorism and conflict resolution believes those responsible for the attack in moscow may be connected to international terror groups we must keep in mind the. insurgency in the north caucasus. now has connections with other terrorist groups in the middle east and in other

parts of the world. so we are seeing yet another outrage yet another attack against innocent civilians on the same pattern as happened in new york in london and paris and in other parts of the world. of course the insurgency in the north caucasus has domestic routes and. there are causes for it that are local but in the end this is in my view part of much wider international threat. russian authorities are now looking into security lapses adama debt of our that let the suicide bomber reach his target but as i bet it reports monday's blast also triggered a wider debate on whether such attacks can actually be prevented. as the

dust settled the blame game began dominated of it 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 terrorists in any capital on the basis you have to there are certain things you have to do especially after a time 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 be ques 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 the amount of been good in so we're. in the first call if you want to promote security the second objective you want to facilitate the flow of commerce and the third is you probably want. protect individual privacy but i would pose where in the middle of the triangle. 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 us 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 it 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 enhanced the system you must make sure it works on events r.t. moscow. the damage out of a tragedy was the first issue addressed by the russian delegation at the world economic forum in davos why there were other subjects at stake for russia at the meeting of the world's financial power players and we got all the details coming up . and warsaw continues to challenge moscow's findings of last year's fatal plane crash that killed polish president lech kaczynski but new evidence may finally settle the debate. russia and the us are about to begin cutting

their strategic atomic arsenals the new start agreement between the world's biggest nuclear powers is due to come into force within days after it was approved by the russian parliament this week artie's 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 the 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 a real irrational implications and affect other countries as decision making as well managed to become the symbol of the restart of the deletions 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 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 the republic bought all of us on a war against three d.

which is 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 a ring of it three d. russian deputies also made a 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 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

is schools it's expected the leaders deal will open many 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 the north 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. and both russia and the us ratified the same treaty but included different requirements well paul ingrassia from the british american security information council says. both moscow and washington want to reserve their right to self defense in the worst case scenario in the end it's the same treaty the same text and these interpretations i think both 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. russian duma is quite correct point the us senate has said that there is nothing illegal preventing the americans from developing in the south of france for the right the russians certainly have a right to withdraw from the treaty should should they deem their security to to be

threatened. and these are points of fact of the treaty so it's not that they are ratifying two separate treaties the same treaty is there and in the end i think it's quite right to say that this is the first step in approaching a very long process of confidence building and. that was paul engram from the british american security information council and now moving on anti-government protesters in egypt are ramping up the pressure on embattled president hosni mubarak as violence rages for a sixth day well more than one hundred fifty people are believed to have been killed in the uprising with looting spreading across the country as the army struggles to restore order artie's policy or reports from the egyptian capital in cairo. in the early hours of this morning ten people were killed while trying to break into the interior ministry at the same time thousands of prisoners have broken out of jails around the country among them are muslim extremist muslim

militants are receiving reports that some of them haven't really made going way back to palestine as a result the egyptian government has closed its border with gaza the real sense you get from being here is the sense of normal isthmus the police have completely abandoned the city it's firmly in the hands of the army and what this means is that you have these vigilante groups that have broken into police stations many of them are now armed they have ammunition there are people standing guard in front of their homes the protesters are still out on the streets the city remains in a lockdown and the protesters say they're going no way until mubarak himself steps down the egyptian president has sacked his government at the same time he's appointed a vice president as well as a new prime minister who is tasked with forming a new government but speaking to protesters say they say that this will go no way to pacify him and addressing their concerns the international community particularly european countries in the united states has called on the ballot to implement reforms and to refrain from violence there have been protests and demonstrations around the world particularly with egyptian showing support for the

families and their friends back home there were some wiki leaks documents that came to light some of them were throwing two cables as far back as two thousand and seven showing that while in the public light the american administration has been supporting mubarak privately it's been supporting his opposition and this was raised many questions particularly among analysts who are now asking just how spontaneous these demonstrations in fact were. in the u.k. behind the recent events in africa i don't believe in school into this revolutions when hundreds of millions of people come out into the streets at the same time. there's been no serious. to their standards of living for these demonstrations. support money from foreign secret services. many of the experts are saying that these demonstrations were in part filled by what we saw earlier this month but that

it's still too soon to say whether the deposition there for president is going to be the same conclusion that is reached here in egypt the problem here is that there is no unified opposition voice what we see on the streets is a lot of people come together in defiance against mubarak but that opposition is fragmented the largest opposition group here in egypt is the muslim brotherhood and they've been careful not to hijack these demonstrations they don't want them to be seen as islamised they believe that the people have very real grievances that need to be addressed one of the opposition leaders perhaps to emerge as mohamed el baradei he is the former head of the international atomic energy agency and he has said that he is prepared to hit an interim government of course to do so and he is no longer under house arrest. that was our tease paul asli are reporting from cairo and don't forget you can read more on all the stories at our website that's our dot com and here's what's on live for you right now media monopoly several large

corporations dominate t.v. news in the us viewers are beginning to doubt whether they're being given unbiased coverage will find out where else they're turning to to stay informed. and st petersburg is renowned for its architecture and history so why does a local mayor want to strip the city of its historic status to get the answer at r.t.e. dot com. now while political voices in warsaw continue to question the findings of the investigation into last april presidential plane crash in western russia new evidence has now come to light a polish journalist has alleged that the plane could only have diverted to a backup airport if self gave the order well as artie's got there are reports polish officials responses to the claim have been contradictory. 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 was it made by the pilots or air traffic controllers the banner reverting to a backup airport was allegedly put in effect for 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 could even force him to rule it but i don't want to know about it because according to every existing rule in regulation the group is the flight and until that point i and 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. this information was for

me on a believable from the beginning when i ordered it to be checked out i have already received one hundred percent information that such an instruction did not exist neither internal nor general. this statement however would have carried a lot more weight as it was in contradicted by the government spokesman. and this is obvious that there are internal regulations in indonesia 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 minsk envy tips in this really says a lot about the quality of the cruise preparation because beauty of 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 that the russian air traffic control was also

responsible action some say 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 and again voter support many more similar revelations could come to light placing the polls in an even more uncomfortable position ghastliness r.t. moscow. russia has reaffirmed its ambition to set itself up as a global financial center while the country's leaders also promised a better business climate and greater transparency at the annual world economic forum in davos which is now wrapping up well the russian delegation presented members of the global market with a detailed plan promising to share risks and costs they had of the world trade organization said he believes two thousand and eleven will be the year russia joins its ranks building a call me economic space with the e.u.

territories that the germans have invaded is that the local population was as the jews were being persecuted local population got drawn into that process of persecution in the benefit it materially from it and. was a reluctant to give shelter to jews who were trying to avoid the german network but seems to me that and they said it isn't was a fairly well ingrained element of people's world outlook at the time and see. to say first of all that jews are. evil and they should be isolated and things should be taken away from them this was this was a kind of a set of slogans which local people have accepted with. interest so to speak and then slowly they were drawn into assisting in various ways in the process of round up and occasionally unfortunately also in assaults

and even killings that were especially in the east that was actually a direct. nazi police chief at the time. to invite the local population to be active in acts of programs and killings of the jews and unfortunately there was quite a sponsor at that time. well that was john krause a polish american historian and in a few minutes we'll bring you president medvedev interview with bloomberg television that's after recap of our top stories this sunday here on r.t. .
