told. you that we hear old auntie investigators say they know the identity of the suicide bomber who killed thirty five people dead about airport but are not naming the twenty year old north caucuses much as the hunt for his accomplices goes on meanwhile the country's considering a new terror alert system a security stepped up nationwide on presidential orders. by consolidating public. to. also all eyes are major does the nationwide uprising against president hosni mubarak continues despite a hundred deaths and violent clashes with police and over the string of prison

break outs. the death toll in cairo keeps climbing as mubarak simply refuses to give interposed piston's demands join me in a few moments from cairo. plus the key nuclear on the sconce deal between moscow and washington will come into force within days after the go ahead from lawmakers and most of the meaning of the start treaty have the final seal of approval from both sides. and welcome to the program this is artie's weekly review. story now investigators say they know the identity of the suicide bomber responsible for monday's attack in moscow demanded of an airport which killed thirty five and injured over hundred the twenty year old miles from the north caucuses is not being named as security chiefs hung down by. those who helped organize their trotty arraf earth looks back on that

day. four thirty pm on the twenty fourth of january a suicide bomber blaze apart the packed arrivals hall at 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. i looked at my watch and then flash and i passed out when i woke up there was a ringing in my ears there 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 he took all the shrapnel. amongst the thirty five dead people from many nationalities. in added we need fathers good and qusay and his two to marry the mother of his child. shelves 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. very. stark realization that the work of their daughter was far. too. strange for. their parents. 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 to donate blood or sewer sure. those who committed these terrible acts targeting citizens of different countries expected their actions to bring russia to its knees but they thought 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 in battling this very threat depends on solidarity . and the official day of mourning both president 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 the 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 threat so. 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 foreign is coming to russia well of course. the major go away for international airline flying. to moscow it is the favored airport. one house to ask a question whether. 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 on the aviation assets. russian authorities are now looking into security lapses adem addenda which could have led this so sad but never reach his target but as either 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 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 a constant 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 in the capital city security at domodedovo has now been increased mandatory metal detectors and baggage x. rays accompany every entrance to the building bizarreness is 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 a queue of people build up just inside the airport resents exactly the sort of target drawing 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 checked. points 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 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 line or for russia's parliament it's about security this week the state duma gave preliminary approval to 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 either then it's r.t. moscow. they don't lie dead of atrocity was the first they should read by the russian delegation of the world economic forum in davos but international business and and export fans in russia eventually moved center stage at the meeting of the world financial power play and all the details. as they rest in north africa continues we compare the turmoil with the so-called colored revolutions of recent years in former soviet countries. you might be

benefiting from. so egypt is about to enter its seventh straight day of nationwide protests by demonstrators wanting to topple president hosni mubarak was ruled by martial law for nearly thirty years more than one hundred have died in violence but big. crowds continue flocking to see the squares in defiance of a national curfew countries including russia the us take any zero how warms their citizens to avoid travelling to egypt as the government's hold on power becomes more uncertain reports 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 at two 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

when 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 a very very volatile at the same time though they were off you were 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 these prisons around the country and many of them broke into police stations they managed to get on your 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 some can 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 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 that turkish citizens from here and the vice president omar suleiman has the mission of a sunday with the insufficient supply into a situation now the international community particularly with communications what is 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 and both here in cairo there's been a lot of anger directed at the united states who of course has popped up mubarak and this is supported by wiki leaks documents the cables 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 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 in tunis here with the overthrow of the president but it is still too soon to say whether mubarak himself will go. there with the latest from cairo. and as a wiki leaks documents show the u.s. has been supporting opposition groups in egypt behind closed doors it's not the first time washington has tried its hand at regime change many believe the so-called colored revolutions and former soviet countries were made possible by the united states and as i have to report they're not the only parallels with the current unrest in north africa. georgia two thousand and three. and ukraine two thousand for. two thousand and five. and egypt

twenty eleven i think these are all completely different revolts well 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 this are being coached in the they're being coached by u.s. intelligence services the same way the orange revolution was in the rose revolution with saakashvili and in georgia a string of revolutions some bloodless some north to work to pull some. it 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 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 in greece 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 start the revolution of two thousand and five or so quickly turned sour last year or so yet another popular revolt but those false

dawns and bitter lessons are far from the minds of those clamoring for change in north africa. or no 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 of 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. experts agree that it may take some time before the world will see whether the revolts indonesia and egypt will change things for the better in these countries just as they have a common opinion that if these uprising flop europe will be the first to suffer

from waves of immigrants. see. the new nuclear arms can steal between russia and the us is due to come into force within days marking the end of a long journey but that start treaty approval by the russian state demands the final all clear for ratification by the size of that plan take the world's to gets nuclear power plant exchange documents in munich later this week so they can start counting their arsenals and his ego cannot 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 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 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 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. very public. in 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 it three d. russian deputies also made non-binding special states. 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 pass the russians show responsibility in fulfilling these obligations and that will create

a new spirit of mutual confidence and trust and then you 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 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 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 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 and joe rubin and now it from the national security network and the u.s. as the new start treaty turns a new page an international relations and will lead to a safer world. it's very beneficial to all involved the u.s. and russia have 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

and security threats are dynamic now we have terrorism in. moscow 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 looking at nuclear weapons as a serious issue sees that the u.s. and russia can make progress it does give an opportunity for new thinking about how do you dress this in two thousand and eleven and you can read more on all our stories that our web site that's home and here's what's on line for you right. these women only as several large corporations dominate t.v. news in the u.s. viewers are beginning to doubt whether they're being given i'm biased coverage find out what tending to stay informed. and safe because that is renowned for its architecture and history so why does the local matter wants to strip the story

straight to get the authentic. russia has refound its ambition to drum up business interest in the country stressing modernization of the annual world economic forum in davos draws to a close the country's leaders also promised more transparency the russian delegation presented world business and political leaders with a detailed plan of promising to share risks and costs they had of the world trade organization said he believes twenty eleven will be the year russia join. that's right in fact lost most was also keen on creating a common economic space with the european union and many of the world's largest companies are already operating in russia like b.p. which were some fetes track a multi-billion dollar deal with a russian oil giant cross that bush spoke to b.p. had robert dudley said their lives as neutrally beneficial an effect and 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 i think 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 yeah you know it's in the decades ahead between the international oil companies and national how important is the arctic's to p.p.s. in new production strategy i think the arctic has great potential to 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. were very very excited about it could new york to finds help to maintain oil production at current levels if you look out to the year two thousand and 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 off the mass of the gulf of mexico oil spill well we have many many commitments to meet there we've got a long way to go to rebuild the trust there so we haven't put it behind it where we're deeply embedded in the learnings from that experience in cross country company in terms of what we do everywhere around the globe. let's now take a look at some other headlines from around the world at least ten killed and another twenty three injured in a head on collision between freight and passenger trains in eastern germany the thunderous crash impact was heard miles away as the two trains crossed a stretch of trying. to repair but he said most of the dead were killed instantly before both sets of wagons and locomotives caught fire rescue workers at the scene when the death toll will rise. provisional results in a referendum in southern sudan's independence show ninety nine percent of voters
