something refuses to give into protesters demands join me in a few moments from cairo. deal between moscow and washington is to come into force within days after the start treaty received a final seal of approval from both sides. hello and welcome to the program this is our she's weekly review of our timeline story now investigators say they know the identity of this suicide bomber responsible for monday's attack on moscow airport which killed thirty five and injured over one hundred the twenty year old man from the north caucuses not be named as security chiefs hung down those who helped organize their trotty firth looks back at the events of that day. four thirty pm on the twenty fourth of

january a suicide bomber blows apart the packed arrivals who rushes busiest. 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 ashes 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 he took all the shrapnel. amongst the thirty five dead people from many nationalities. added when the father's good includes and is due to marry the mother of his child correll buckhalter shoves wife watched him die in front of her on the airport floor around the world families now grieving for those who were saved pretty early calles

. some very serious. very. large sections of the work of their daughter was 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 accomplices of this crime north caucasus separatist

groups and extremists have been responsible for similar deadly attacks in russia the twin bombings at 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 had redeemed and people have been visiting the hospitals today nate blood's sears rick dorset sure. those who committed these terrible acts targeting citizens of different countries expected their actions to bring russia to its knees but the wrong russia 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 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 both president of and prime minister putin attended services all religions uniting to commemorate those who died in the attacks. continue to be laid at the site of the blast it's a poignant reminder that in the war on terror it's once again ordinary people here on the front line in a scene of tragedy. and of mourning now it's time for action and that's if the international community to stand united work together now to fight this global terrorist threat so. and there's been a huge international reaction to the bombing that killed people from at least seven different countries u.k. based aviation expert chris yates says it was a deliberate attack on foreigners coming to russia. as the major go away for

international airline. to moscow it is the favored airport. because of that fact because many international visitors to to russia pass through the airport. you know the question has to be whether this was primarily the target in other words targeting the economic well being of russia as well as those people who are traveling in the aviation assets. but authorities are now looking into security lapses a demented of which could have led the so side bomb that reach its target but as other bennett reports the blast also triggered a wider debate over whether such a turk's can they prevent it or. as the dust settled the blame game began dhamma 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 terrorists in any capital on a constant basis you have to there are certain things you have to do specially after a time but ultimately it's very very hard protect all transport 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 that 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 handled twenty two million passengers last year double that of been good in so what's the answer 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 want to protect individual our privacy. and the question i would pose is where in the middle of the triangle do you want to make the law in or for russia's parliament it's about security this week the state duma gave preliminary approval to a new and terror warnings there modeled on the u.s. system of color coded alerts created post nine eleven. just look how much we needed

this system in light of the damage of attack what everyone is seeing 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. now has the system you must make sure it works harder then it's r.t. moscow. they don't have a tragedy it was the first by the russian delegation of the world economic forum in davos but there were other subjects at stake for russia the meeting of the world's financial power players of course all the details come yet. also continues to challenge moscow's findings in last year's fatal plane crash that killed polish president lech kaczynski but new evidence may find it settle the debate. egypt is about to enter its seventh straight day of nationwide protests by demonstrators wanting to topple president hosni mubarak who is ruled by martial law

for nearly thirty years more than one hundred have died in violence but big crowds continue flocking to city squares in defiance of the national care few countries including russia the u.s. turkey and israel have been evacuating their citizens as their gyptian governments hold on power becomes more uncertain. reports now from cairo. thousands of protesters remain in the city center into here every square now they have been joined by hundreds of judges at the same time an opposition figure mohamed el baradei who is the former chief of the international atomic energy agency and he says he will be put. here to head an interim government i've asked to do so i spent most of sunday at the here recently and i can tell you that the mood there is very volatile we were busy interviewing people and within seconds the changed from talking to one of anger and we ran to the car we jumped in the com people were banging on the windows and how many were in on the car as we tried to get away so

it's of that situation a very very volatile at the same time though there are fewer protesters out on the streets then they have in previous days and this is simply because they formed themselves into what can be called a neighborhood watch groups during sunday thousands of prisoners escaped from these prisons around the country and many of them broke into police stations they managed to get a new mission and weapons and managed to arm themselves and they have really been patrolling and controlling the highways throughout this country and terrifying people so people are using whatever they can kitchen knives mitchell was sticks to protect their homes and no one is prepared to entertain the fact that they will be in egypt with mubarak the protesters some can saying that they will not move until a few steps down but that doesn't seem to be liking sophie not anytime soon the latest word we have is that his army has moved into sharma's share of foreign nationals have been urged to leave the country the american embassy saying that from monday morning it will be torturing flights out of here the turkish government

has entered turkish claim in the turkish citizens from here and the vice president omar suleiman has been meeting the case sunday with the fees officials to apply and deal with the situation now the international community particularly with communications with the united states have any right to show restraint and to implement some kind of reforms we've seen demonstrations throughout the world in those demonstrations and both here in cairo the anger directed at the united states who of course has popped up and this is supported by wiki leaks documents a cable going back to two thousand and seven. interesting the enough that cable also talks about the fact that while the united states has supported mubarak it also in private supported opposition leaders to the united states playing a game of double standards here the big question on everyone's mind is whether or not these protests will result in the same way that was altered into this year with the overthrow of the president but it is still too soon to say whether mubarak

himself will go. there with the latest there from cairo. the new nuclear deal between russia and the us is due to come into force within days knocking the end of a long journey for the start treaty approval by the russians stadium into the final all clear for ratification of both sides of that plan take the world's two biggest nuclear powers plan to exchange documents and unix later this week so they can start cutting their arsenals. 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 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 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 a senior level of nuclear weapons because we read fairly levels during the cold war i think it will have real irrational implications in effect other countries as decision making as well amends 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 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 the. fortunately for the first time to the republic. in the war against three d. which is the rather strange but i think it was. a bomb on. the to obama administration and basically i don't think about it that got 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 hold that the coming here is we 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 in 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 u.s. to 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 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 trust by reducing the number of strategic oil russia in the united states or in forcing port and ship at least for the next decade. or to moscow. thrasher and the u.s. have approved the same treaty but included different requirements poor 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. these interpretations i think both sounds as if very 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 to. us that there is nothing illegal preventing the americans from developing the front row for both the right the russians certainly have a right to withdraw from the treaty should or 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 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 every so. there is paul england from the british american security information council and you can read more on all our stories at our website that's our to call and here's what i live for you right now media monopoly at several large corporations dominate t.v. news in the us they're beginning to doubt whether they're being given and coverage find out where they're telling to stay informed. and of course saying it is bad is

renowned for its architecture and history so why does the local mayor wants to strip the city of its historic state is at the onset harty dot com. russia has reaffirmed its ambition to drum up business interest in the country stressing modernization plans at the annual world economic forum in davos. as the evangelist to close the country's leaders also promised more transparency the russians immigration presented well business and political leaders with a detailed plan promising to share the risks and costs ahead of the world trade organization said he believes twenty eleven will be the year russian joins its ranks at last moscow's also keen on creating a common economic space with the european union many of the world's largest companies are already operating in the show like b.p. which recently struck a multi-billion dollar deal with russian oil giant ross net is daniel bushell spoke to b.p. had robert dudley he said their lives as nature beneficial and such

a model for future cooperation. i think it's a very good good good deal for b.p. i think it's a good deal for us now but it's a watershed deal in the international oil industry i think it's good for russia this cross holding between two companies who have aligned interests is is a very good thing i think it's a harbinger of things you know in the decades ahead between the international oil companies and national how important is the arctic to p.p.s. new oil production strategy i think the arctic has great potential you look at the maps in russia i think it's going to be something that's great for russia good for the companies involved and of course the b.p. we're very very excited about a good new or finds hope to maintain oil production levels if you look out to the year twenty thirty the growth in oil production will be fairly limited its value though will be high the world will need forty percent more energy by twenty thirty it's going to be something the world needs how would you summarize b.p.'s new strategy going forward well i'd probably say three three ways one we are deeply

embedded in safety risk management and everything we do in the company we're going to meet our commitments we need to rebuild trust back in the company and then our strategy going forward to rebuild the value for shareholders in b.p. and in the future prospects with ross not just part of that where is b.p. now in the aftermath of the gulf of mexico oil spill well we have many many commitments to. they're we've got a long way to go to rebuild the trust there so we have put it behind where we're deeply embedded now learning through that experience in cross country company in terms of what we do everywhere around the globe. speaking that meanwhile on the sidelines at davos present inventive spoke to bloomberg t.v. about their prospects and the vantages of russia's economy and you can watch the full interview in just ten minutes time so don't go away. 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 decision to land a not revert back up airport could have been on the orders of president lech kaczynski himself he and ninety five perished in creating many of the country's political and military elite in the disaster blamed by the official investigation on pilot error catarina explained. forced to land according to one article in a russian newspaper that was the cause of this 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 but the president himself one polish journalist whose name is not disclosed for o.b.'s reasons so that the special every asian regiment that flies v.a.p. passengers received a secret instruction which said the plane could 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 get in for such a rule 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 you know we will have the pilot had to back up airports 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 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. kashrut as r.t.
