groups and extremists have been responsible for similar deadly attacks in russia the twin bombings of the mosque a metro 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 airport transport authorities and the police have come into 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 rick dorsey were sure. those who committed these terrible acts targeting citizens of different countries expected their actions to bring russia to its knees. 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 a major terrorism terrorist attacks like this one in russia unfortunately can
9:05 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 and. 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 work together now to fight this global terrorist threats so. and there's been a huge international reaction to the bombing that killed people from a cliff seven different countries and u.k. based aviation expert chris he says it was
9:06 pm
a deliberate attack on foreigners coming to russia well of course this is the major go away for international line. to moscow it is the favored airport. warm house to ask questions. because of that fact because many international visitors to to russia pass through the airport. you know that 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 on the aviation assets russian authorities are now looking into security lapses and demanded of i wish i could have let it set aside but my reach his target but as i have a bennett reports 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
9:07 pm
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 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 targets at trying to avoid these pictures were filmed covertly around fifty people

are packed into a tiny space refused 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 vehicle chip. points fingerprint scanners and compulsory passenger interviews but such resource intensive measures aren't possible larger airports domodedovo handle twenty two million passengers last year double that's been good 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 privacy and the question i would pose is where in the middle of the triangle make the laws 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 the government just look how
9:09 pm
much we needed this system in light of the damage did 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 have now has the system you must make sure it works harder than it's r.t. moscow. they demanded of atrocity was the first issue addressed by the russian delegation of the world economic forum in davos but actual business at best and prospects for foreign firms in russia eventually moved center stage at the meeting of the world's financial power players and we've got all the details ahead. of the unrest in north africa continues only compadre turmoil with the so-called colored revolutions of ricin tears informant's soviet countries said might be benefiting from agreeable. egypt is about to enter its seventh
9:10 pm
straight day of nationwide protests by demonstrators vaulting to topple president hosni mubarak has ruled by martial law thirty years more than one hundred have died in violence that big crowds continue flocking to city squares in defiance of a national kathy countries including russia the u.s. tech and israel how want their citizens to avoid travelling to egypt as the government's hold on power becomes more uncertain his policy reports from cairo. thousands of protesters remain in the city center into here every square and now 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 of asked to do so i spent most of sunday at and i can tell you that the mood there is very hard to talk we were busy interviewing people in a second is that changed from talking to one of anger when we ran to the car we
9:11 pm
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 that situation a very very volatile at the same time though there are fewer protesters out on the streets then they have been in previous days and this is simply because they formed themselves into what can be called neighborhood watch groups during sunday thousands of prisoners escaped from these prisons around the country and many of them broken to police stations they managed to get ammunition 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. 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 steps down but that doesn't seem to be likely so he not anytime soon the latest word we have is that his army has moved into sharon will share foreign nationals has been urged to leave the country the
9:12 pm
american embassy saying that from monday morning it will be chartering flights out of here the turkish government has sent a turkish plane to aid the turkish citizens from here and the new vice president omar suleiman has been meeting for the day sunday with the face officials to try and deal with the situation now the international community particularly with the case is what is the united states have. to show restraint and 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 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
9:13 pm
not these protests will result in the same way that resulted in this year with the overthrow of the president but it is still too soon to say whether mubarak himself will go. ati's point to clear with the latest there from cairo and as we can leaks documents show the u.s. has been supporting opposition groups and agent behind closed doors it's not the first time washington has tried it turned out a regime change many believe the so-called colored revolutions and former soviet countries were made possible by the united states and as i see the next a year chess care a pause the north the only parallels with the current unrest in north africa. georgio two thousand and three. and ukraine two thousand four. cutest on two thousand and five. and egypt twenty eleven i think these are all completely different revolts well
9:14 pm
think again and not only because they're raised fist was one of their symbols if you look more closely you look at the people who are leading those are being coached in the they're being coached by u.s. intelligence services the same way the orange revolution was in the roles revolution with saakashvili and in georgia a string of revolutions some bloodless some more 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 grigori sudan is one of those disenchanted with the outcome of the
9:15 pm
orange make over he says the bright promises of the revolutions leaders have in reality pushed the country into an abyss. and corruption in greece the country became divided on the. issue was nothing changed to 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 dramatic role just their anger with president saakashvili was met with a response that was all too familiar as just grenades and water cannons were used to quell the unrest and then killed just on the revolution of two thousand and five or so quickly turned sour last year so yet another popular revolt but those false
9:16 pm
dawns and bitter lessons are far from the minds of those clamoring for change in north africa. or not 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 the government 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 increasingly stick mood will not take advantage of the situation if those are really people's movements they should not have let anyone in to deal with their theirs 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 a common opinion that if these uprising is flawed europe will be the first to suffer from waves of immigrants let's see russia ski artsy. the new
9:17 pm
nuclear arms council 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 duma months the final all clear for ratification both sides of that plan take the world's two biggest nuclear power plant exchange documents and unique later this week so they can start cutting their arsenals. now 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 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
9:18 pm
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 a real international implications and affect 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 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 to 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 the republic bought
9:19 pm
all this 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 of a three d. russian deputies also made by. 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 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
9:20 pm
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 close 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
9:21 pm
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 us going off r t moscow banjo ruben and i'm led from the national security network and the u.s. says the new start treaty turns a new page and international relations annually to say. it's very beneficial to all involved the u.s. and russia have 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 a key issue of security for both countries there's a clear interest in moving past the cold war and security threats are dynamic now we have terrorism and as you know the in moscow monday these these threats come
9:22 pm
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 looking at nuclear weapons as a serious issue sees it the u.s. and russia can make progress it does give an opportunity for a new thinking about how do you dress this in two thousand and eleven. and you can read more on all our stories the tao website that's our home and here's what's on line for you right now. media monopoly and several large corporations dominates t.v. news in the u.s. view was beginning to doubt whether they're being given unbiased coverage find out where else that tending to stay informed. and safe it is that is renowned for its architecture and history so why does the local mayor wants to strip the city of its historic status at the onset. russia
