cavell budrus shelves wife watched him die in front of her on the airport floor around the world families now grieving for the days he was saved precisely calles. something serious just. the stark realization that the work of their daughter was far was a true. story. their parents are. 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
10:04 pm
establish the organizers and accomplices of this crime north caucuses so. it is 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 in eight bloods sears recd or sewer sure. those who committed these terrible acts targeting citizens of different countries expected their actions to bring russia to its knees but if 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
10:05 pm
time anywhere in the world there is no universal remedy against this evil but one thing we can say for sure our success and back when the story depends on solidarity . and the official day of mourning the president advent of 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 here on the front line it's been 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 dennis summit a london based expert on terrorism and conflict resolution believes that there tuck in moscow was a part of
10:06 pm
a much wider international terrorist threat. 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 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 a part of much wider international that. russian author at ease in are looking into security lapses and down the terror which could have left. its dark it but as i have a better support the blast also triggered
10:07 pm
a wider debate and why attack can be prevented at all. as the dust settled the blame game began domodedovo or 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 attack but ultimately it's very very hard 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 airport anymore since security's been stepped up but one of the problems with the new stringent checks
10:08 pm
here is that a queue of people build up just inside the airport resents exactly the sort of target 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 probably 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
10:09 pm
gave preliminary approval to new and terror warnings they modeled on the u.s. system of color coded alerts created post nine eleven. 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. now has the system you must make sure it works are then it's r.t. moscow they don't want dead of atrocity was the first issue addressed by the russian delegation of the world economic forum in davos but international and invest the prospect before and in russia eventually moved center stage at the meeting of the world's financial power play out of got all the details ahead. for us we're also continues to challenge moscow's findings on last year's fatal plane

crash that killed polish president lech kaczynski but the evidence may finally settle the debate. egypt is about to enter its seventh straight day of nationwide protests by demonstrators wanting to topple president hosni mubarak who's ruled by martial law for nearly thirty years more than one hundred have died in violence but big crowds continue flocking to see just squares in defiance of a national curfew countries including russia the u.s. attack in israel warned their citizens to avoid travelling to egypt as the government's hold on power becomes more uncertain. live reports now 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
10:11 pm
spent most of sunday at two we swear and i can tell you that the mood there is a very i want to talk with the 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 a that situation is very very volatile at the same time though there are fewer protesters out on the street then they have 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 prisons around the country and many of them broke into police stations they managed to get any 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
10:12 pm
saying that they will not move until he steps down but that doesn't seem to be lively so he not anytime 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 there from monday morning it will be torturing flights out of here the turkish government has sent a turkish claim in that turkish citizens from here and the vice president omar suleiman has been meeting for the day sunday with the fees officials to apply and deal with the situation now the international community particularly in a few cases what is the united states have if you like to show restraint and to implement some kind of worth. forms we've seen demonstrations throughout the world in those demonstrations and both here in cairo there's been a lot of anger directed at the united states who of course 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
10:13 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 resulted into this year with the overthrow of the president but it is still too soon to say whether mubarak himself will go. put a flare that would the latest from. the new nuclear arms cause deal between russia and the u.s. 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 meant the final all clear for ratification and both sides of that plan take the world's two biggest nuclear power plant exchange documents in munich later this week so they can start cutting their arsenals. reports. 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
10:14 pm
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 and 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 the same level of nuclear weapons because we reach really insane levels during the cold war i think it will have real irrational implications and affect other countries as decision making as well mans 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
10:15 pm
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 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 thought of a certain a 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 it three d. russian deputies also made a non-binding special steed. legally linking offensive and defensive weapons which was one of the main stumbling points in the negotiations secured moscow's right to
10:16 pm
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 here is will show that both americans and the 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 u.s. this close it's expected the leaders deal will open many new doors of opportunity also moving forward on the russia's 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
10:17 pm
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 us going off r.t. moscow. both russia and the u.s. have approved the same treaty but included different requirements and paul ingrown from the british american security information councils has by moscow and washington want to reserve their right to self defense in the worst case. in the end it's the same treaty the same text and these interpretations i think both
10:18 pm
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 often so forces and. russian duma is quite correct point to the us senate has said that there is nothing illegal preventing the americans from developing the south of france for both 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 a very long process of confidence building every so. that was paul england from the british american security information council. and of course you could read more on

10:20 pm
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 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 marine passenger the rules state that the pilots priorities however should never have changed whether such instructions existed or not. what maybe could enforce a rule but i don't want to know about it because according to every existing rule in regulation the crew prepares the flight and until the point lands of the pilot
10:21 pm
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 on 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 your. pilot had to back up airports minsk n.v. tips in this really says a lot about the quality of the cruise preparation because b.t.s. wasn't even working that day. the official investigation found pilot error was to
10:22 pm
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 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 game voter support many more similar revelations could come to light placing the polls in an even more uncomfortable position kashrut as r.t. moscow. russia has reaffirmed its ambition to set itself up as a global financial sun to the country's leaders also promised a better business climate and greater transparency at the annual world economic forum in davos which has now wrapped up the russian delegation presented world business sense political leaders with a detailed plan promising to share risks and costs ahead of the world trade
