7:04 pm
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 bloods sears recd or sort of sure. those who committed these terrible acts targeting citizens of different countries expected their actions to bring russia to its knees but if we're wrong that 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
7:05 pm
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 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 that's if the international community to stand united or work together now to fight this global terrorist threats so. then dennet summit a london based expert on terrorism and conflict resolution believes that there tuck in moscow was a part of a much wider international terrorist threat. the
7:06 pm
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 here another outrage yet another attack against innocent civilians on the same pattern as happened in new york in london in paris and in other parts of the world. of course the insurgency in the north caucasus has domestic routes and. there are courses 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 and demo data which would have led to. his target but as i
7:07 pm
have a bennett report the blast also triggered a wider debate over whether such attacks can be prevented at all. 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 by the 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 specially after attack 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 airport anymore since security's been stepped up but one of the problems with the new stringent checks here is that
7:08 pm
a queue of people build up just inside the airport resents exactly the sort of targets 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 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 want to protect individual our privacy. 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
7:09 pm
approval to new and the terror warnings they 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 either then it's r.t. moscow. they don't know dead of atrocity was the first they shared by the russian delegation of the world economic forum in davos but it's all business and the best prospects before in firms in russia eventually were to center stage at the meeting of the world's financial coldplay album called all the details ahead. and then rest in north africa continues we compare the turmoil with the so-called colored

revolutions of recent years of former soviet countries looks at who might the benefits take over. 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 a 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 policy a report from cairo. thousands of protesters remain in the city center into here every square they have been joined by hundreds of judges at the same time and joined by opposition figure mohamed el baradei he is the former chief of the international atomic energy agency and he says he will be prepared to head an interim government i've asked to do so i spent most of sunday after greece where he
7:11 pm
and i continue that the there is a very i want to talk with the interviewing people who have been sick and 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 we were in on the car as we tried to get out of ways so that situation is 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 they 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 simply saying that they will not move until he
7:12 pm
steps down but that doesn't seem to be live in time soon the latest word we have is that his army has moved into sharma's share 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 sent a turkish plane in the turkish citizens from here and the vice president omar suleiman has the mission today sunday with the fees officials to apply and deal with the situation now the international community particularly with communications with the united states have. to show the frame to implement some kind of a. as we've seen demonstrations throughout the world in those demonstrations in both here in cairo the anger directed at the united states who of course has propped up mubarak and this is supported by wiki leaks documents a cable going back to two thousand and seven but interestingly enough that cable also talks about the fact that while the united states has supported mubarak it
7:13 pm
also in private supported opposition leaders so 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. paul is here with the mace is there from cairo. as the we can leagues documents show the u.s. has been supporting opposition groups in egypt behind closed doors it's not the first time washington's try to its hand at regime change many believe this so-called colored revolutions and former soviet countries were made possible by the united states and as. the reports they're not the only parallels with the current unrest in north africa. georgio two thousand and three. ukraine two thousand and four. cutest on two thousand
7:14 pm
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 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 not 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
7:15 pm
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 the country became divided on the. issue was nothing changed for the better it changed only to the words. of 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 stan the revolution of two thousand and five also
7:16 pm
quickly turned sour last years so yet another popular revolt but those falls dawns and bitter lessons are far from the minds of those clamoring for change in north africa. when a 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 imperialistic mood will not take advantage of the situation if those are really people's movements they should not have let anyone interfere with their fares and that's what artists experts agree that it may take some time before the world will see whether the revolts in tunisia and egypt will change things for the better in these countries just as they have
7:17 pm
a common opinion that if these uprising flop europe will be the first to suffer from waves of immigrants. let's see. then you nuclear deal between russia and the us is due to come into force within days marking the end of a long journey for the start treaty approval by the russian state either meant to final all clear for ratification and both sides of that plan take the world's two biggest nuclear powers plan takes change documents in munich later this week so they can start cutting their arsenals is going off now. 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
7:18 pm
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 read truly insane levels during the cold war i think it will have a real irrational implications in effect other countries as decision making as well managed to become the symbol of the restart of evolutions 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 to so-called special speedman securing washington's right to modernize its remaining strategic arms and insisting the deal would not affect
7:19 pm
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 the republic. in the war against three d. which of the other three i'm sure but i think it was. a bomb on 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
7:20 pm
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. this close it's expected the leaders deal will open many new doors of opportunity to 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
7:21 pm
both the nuclear superpowers with the north warheads to blow the entire pool. it into a different solar system so perhaps it's not numbers that the new star is all about for trusting by reducing the number of strategic oil russia in the united states or in forcing their strategic partnership at least for the next decade you've got to spin off r t moscow and joel rubin an analyst from the national security network in the u.s. says the new start treaty turns a new page in international relations and will lead to safe while. it's very beneficial to all involved the u.s. and russia now fully engaged in the restart of the relationship and put substance behind it a lot of good rhetoric over the last year and a half now we actually have an agreement a bipartisan agreement from capitol hill also is a very unique moment and so we see an american russian consensus around the key issue of security for both countries who are interested in moving past the cold war
7:22 pm
and security threats are dynamic now we have terrorism in. moscow on monday these threats coming from a very long arm of potentially from countries outside of nato and outside of europe the hope is that this will create a new dynamic and create new opportunities now that everyone who cares about arms control and is working on nuclear weapons is a serious issue sees that the u.s. and russia can make progress it does give an opportunity for new thinking about how to in two thousand and eleven. that was joel rubin and i'm live from the national security network in the u.s. you can read on our stories of how web sites that. you write. me to monopoly acceptable large corporations dominate t.v. news in the last few is a beginning to doubt whether that be given an unbiased company find out where else
