here security wise as so many people would think it would think that russia is all about russia's very loose on very many things and its easy place to blend in and to organize these types of terrorist attacks while many passengers traveling out to deal with that of airport use the airport express train which travels from have a railway station in central moscow in artie's lindsay france reports from their. well it's been a lot of shock and a lot of dismay some people were and many people were scattered about the airport when it happened some people thought it was construction work they had no idea bob had actually got off and gone off there was dust falling from the ceiling isn't it seemed a bit odd to them but they had no idea just how how abnormal the situation actually was a lot of people said they didn't actually see or hear anything but they smelled a lot of heavy smoke and got on the train out of the airport as soon as possible this train is about forty kilometers away i'm sorry the distance is about forty

kilometers away from the airport to get into this station so it does offer them a very quick ride lauzon to avoid traffic so a lot of passengers were talking with each other about their experiences on the train before it before they got here and their passports were checked by security a lot of people were warned before their planes landed what was going to be happening at the airport and they were very worried that maybe people were there waiting for them that family members had been waiting for them and something had happened and they there was no way to confirm that until they landed at more taxing and get on their phones and confirm that so those were some very nerve wracking times others. actually hadn't taken off or. were about to get on their airplanes when news came that had been bombed and had to get on the phone with loved ones who are going to be waiting for them to avoid the problem so there's a lot of anxiety here trains are still stopping by here at the station and letting

people off and so everyone sort of settling down but these first couple of hours have there's just spent a lot of shock and a lot of dismay over what's happened. then see france reporting that while the u.n. security council has condemned monday's terror attack here in moscow leaders from many countries including spain and britain have called russia's president did have to express their condolences and most also offer help in fighting terrorism move for more on the no reaction totalities going to judge gunn she's in washington gonna tell us more about this reaction from around the world paul bell the u.s. security council is condemning the blast president obama has done the same he called it and outrageous that act of terrorism against the russian people he also expressed condolences to the families of the victims and words of sympathy and solidarity were coming from all over the wall today here is just some of the reaction we're getting to this tragedy at the russian airport. the members of the

security council can then in the strongest terms that there is to tack that the curate had done with that of international airport must go russian federation on january twenty fourth two thousand and eleven causing the numerous deaths and injuries. they express their deep sympathy and condolences to the victims of this scheme is acts of terrorism and to their families and to the people and government of the russian federation i strongly condemn this outrageous act of terrorism against the russian people at the dome of yet of the airport i want to express the solidarity of the american people with the russian people in the aftermath of this premeditated attack against innocent civilians michelle and i offer our deepest condolences to the russian people who have suffered greatly at the hands of terrorism we share your sorrow in a resolve to stand with you in our common fight against those who use terrorism for

their political goals and thoughts are with the families of the victims and we are praying for a successful recovery for all those who are injured. we also have a statement from nato secretary general who says he will shocked by this attack he says terrorism is a common threat and the international community has to fight it together and this really was an act of international terrorism if you look at if you think about it the terrorists have attacked the busiest international airport in russia that there is clearly knew that not only russian nationals are going to suffer more we're getting reports about french italian nationals caught up in this tragic attack this could suggest that terrorists don't really care about nationality they're just killing machines built so well what are security experts saying at the moment especially about the good of it is a major international hub. security experts point out that those

people could be behind those behind the attack could be staging those bombings to raise funds from international terrorist networks you know to sort of show that they can pull this off and then rush it is not as difficult to pull pull it off as in the united states and using suicide bombers they make their message even more graphic we have earlier talked to wally forrest the former senate advisor on terrorism and here is what kind of a message he sees behind this horrendous attack. well there are tool notes here for international observers number one is that this attack against most schools airport which was bloody this is a massacre is also a message to the entire international community that the terrorists been able to discover more areas where governments in general in multiple particular but any other airports around the world will have to pay attention to these are areas not

protected by security measures so that is something that now the international community would have to look at very seriously i think that in the next few weeks there would be a important push both in washington in brussels the european capital and of course in moscow to sit down together and think of a proposal that the united nations should have an agency that would go after those who are inciting for violence worldwide across the borders. russian security officials believe that terrorist groups operating in russia do get funding from abroad and some of the members are actually known to have been trained abroad so really to stop this there has to be an international effort isn't it like there's all this one are supposed to bring countries together because after all it's a common goal to prevent things like this from happening now everybody is talking about terrorism as a common threat that the international community has to fight it together but the

rhetoric hasn't always been like this for a long time the west would see the terrible things that terrorists had done in washington as some sort of a rebel as part of a rebel movement some separatist movement or whatever they call that but now it's very much clear to everyone that these thoughts are a threat to the whole of the international community and their actions cannot be justified by anything but again it took the west a while to realize this is going to thanks very much indeed for that update from washington all of these gun. well after the events at domodedovo airport president medvedev has delayed his trip to the swiss town of divorce which is hosting the annual world economic forum and it is there for us. we're just at the very very beginning of this forum at the moment it's not due to start until wednesday so leaders and business people are just starting to arrive in davos but we have. international reaction from around the world of course but also from inside europe

president medvedev received phone calls of condolence from the u.k. prime minister david cameron also from king of spain the polish president komorowski and president hosni mubarak of egypt and more specific things william hague of course we now know that two britons were killed in this attack and william hague the foreign secretary came out and said that he was deeply shocked and saddened at this explosion and the loss of life that it entails and he sent his condolences to the victims and to their families we've also heard from the head of nato. and he offered solidarity and he said that we were in this fight together that was his message to the people of russia that this is a common threat that we have to unite to face we also heard from president sarkozy of france who also expressed his solidarity in the face of what he called a barbaric and cowardly attack he will be here in davos this week as will the

chancellor of germany. and she wrote a letter to mathematics in which she expressed dismay and disgust on the german foreign ministry condemning what they're calling a dreadful and bloody attack in the strongest terms. do you think there will be any negative impact or effect at all on the proceedings that. it's very unfortunate timing for president medvedev because he was due to give the keynote speech here in davos at the opening ceremony which is going to take place on wednesday night we have heard that he's put his trip to divorce but we're also hearing from various sources that he will still make that keynote speech but he possibly. may leave straight afterwards he was planning to spend a couple of days here talking to other world leaders and to business leaders and certainly that will have a negative effect it's just very unfortunate in terms of timing he was also due to participate in a session on the next steps towards russian modernization and they were going to

talk about the investment climate in russia and also building confidence in business and government now it's not clear whether he will be able to participate in that he would obviously like to but he seems to feel that saying and supporting the people at this time is more important who can blame him for that. his thoughts are obviously with the victims and their families but it's also going to be one of the main goals of devils this year is going to be to create a risk response network to a sort of global network to respond the rest of the people here at davos to see if we will face going forward they are going to be talking not exclusively about the global security threat but certainly they will be talking about that and this as the most recent incident of terror in the world will certainly be under discussion that will or so many people saying this is an attack on the international community but just finally what is the impact it could have on russia's business on this

economy after all the biggest here and to have that sort of incident happening at such a key place. does deep here unfortunately of course is the airport of choice for the community in moscow as you know and all over russia and of course many international airlines so it certainly will have an impact but i think that people are not becoming used to these kinds of attacks but they're seeing them as something that instead of bowing under the pressure of them they're really having to having to just go out anyway and face it anyway and so it's not clear what effect this will have on the business climate so far and i think that's something that will be established. certainly i think the global community and business need is in need it still is something that we have to confront and not back away from say that may have been posed to the facts. there were other i spoke to ivan eland he's a political analyst from the independent institute in washington and he told us

that tragedies like the one done with that it could draw the u.s. and russia closer together growing islamism is a global phenomenon but the terrorism is usually caused by even splinter groups within the islamist. movement and those are usually pretty local with local causes for instance al qaeda attacks the united states for its foreign policy that sort of thing so it seems like a global movement but it's really not that coordinated various groups attack various countries for various reasons and it's usually local i think it will make the two countries go together because to some extent they do perceive it as a global phenomenon even though i think that's an erroneous perception but but also simply the humanity of it you know after nine eleven the world reached out to the united states i think after this really unfortunate and horrible incident certainly brok obama and the people of the united states will reach out to russia tragedy

like this you know brings everybody together at the human level and i think we need a little bit more of that in international politics we tend to get you know wrapped up in you know who's ahead and who's behind and what who's interested is and that sort of thing but you know this kind of this type of terrorism attack is really a cowardly attack no matter who does it for what reason you know they may have in their minds they have a great cause but this is simply going and slaughtering innocent people who are doing nothing more than trying to fly in an airplane so you know at the human level we're all connected and this is unacceptable and a matter what your cause is. we've also been talking to fred we have russian affairs expert from the christian science monitor he says that terrorists target weak points and that he personally experienced poor security at domodedovo airport just a few weeks ago. you know i think that we will we know that the good of all is the

gate way to the north caucasus as far as russian domestic airports go for moscow that may be a reason. but i think it's all so fact that. over the past few years we see terrorists striking in moscow most memorably less than a year ago when two suicide bombers hit the moscow metro. i think they find vulnerable points i think they noticed that security is lax and and they select these places for for max impact and i know since i went through the bill just because weeks ago their security measures at really fallen off i suppose it was because of the black coat that they had on december twenty sixth the airport was shut down and and they had all these problems like i'm sure introduced may have made them speed up made them perhaps less more careless it's i don't know what are

the reasons and we're speculating here but i think that one thing you have to understand about terrorists or people who want to inflict maximum damage and get maximum attention for it is they study these things and they select their target this is the way and it is the way everywhere not just in russia but i have noticed particularly here that when bad things happen there's a few weeks there's a period in which everybody is striving to change their ways and and in plug those holes of whatever that were identified as as contributing to that and then after some time they become more relaxed and careless and after some time after that they've forgotten all about it and and i fear this is yet another example of them. and russian president dmitry medvedev has ordered extra security to put in place to be put in place and all of moscow's airports and reli stations and here's what he

had to say in response to the attack. yes. the explosion in domodedovo took people's lives i spoken to the health minister and the emergencies minister those injured in the explosion move receive all necessary aid i express my condolences to the families of those killed extra security will be put in place in all airports roee stations and transport hubs a special investigation group will be set up to look into the incident we need to look at what's happened in the immediate aftermath and for security on transport we recently approved a number of laws on that we need to check that those laws are working because what happened shows not all of those rulings are being properly applied we have to look into bat the most important thing at the moment is to support the victims and their families. the explosion took place in a waiting area there at domodedovo airport usually filled with family members and

taxi drivers meeting newly arrived international passengers that occurred at one thirty pm g.m.t. time that's four thirty pm moscow time and sergei but i love a journalist a member of russia's council on defense and foreign policy says it's not by chance that that part of the airport was chosen worst of all is that of course if you go through security control and don't want to hear about supply you have to pass through a state of the art security here they actually organized it all in their area which is not normally checked in any airport anywhere in the world there is the waiting area where people wait for those passengers we were right. if memory serves well about seven or eight years ago there was a priest. order to check everyone and the terminal. relieved that somebody was why you would need people. you know get checked

i think the whole thing was leaked. five or six years ago and he's a results so you know the whole thing is going to be sad it's a very sad lesson all of us normal passengers are used. but it's also a very stout lesson for our security services and the police who i understand in this last couple years there's maybe decided a big hole atmosphere is more lax if we compare it so any major international airport you can see that say that the security procedure in proceedings at the onset of a us that actually the same base with heathrow or j.f.k. or shall go in paris it's relatively the same having stuff in the slots top three as the security procedure for those quite apply have been improved. it's not just me it's the people who specialize in these things which is quite the security

procedure at the ones where the very state of the art. but of course even the main shout terrorist threat that eason russia if he's of course necessary to think once again. may be unfortunately week implementing to you or to control and security procedures at the very time in. order for everyone understands i am going to morrow from going out at airports i will be surprised if i am stopped and maybe even search the ben ferguson show unity of airports and i would accept you know i would accept it was a normal citizen i would accept it because these are explicable security arrangements given the circumstances. peter power a u.k. based crisis management specialist from visor consultants told r.t. that keeping things moving following a terrorist attack is essential but first thing to realize that it won't be just moscow airport where things go tightening up you know about twenty million

passengers flying through that airport which actually is a lot less than say heathrow but nonetheless it's a major hump of that part of the world another question i've already heard in the last few minutes is was that the real target could something have happened here with a bomb exploded on route to somewhere else for example if a bomb detonated in the air in very near any airport you're going to show it to be over a wide area it could be detonated by a mobile phone providing it's at low level so there's a chance that the target might have been somewhere else this is the first attack in moscow since march of last year where two female suicide bombers blew themselves up and if you could be way back to two thousand and four again two female suicide bombers which is almost unique blew up an aircraft in the air to separate aircraft through a fault arguably of a head of security that you actually detain women but then let them on so light think that the security has been tightened since then but believe me right now all

major airports around the world are looking into this and asking themselves these sorts of questions is not just moscow one of the questions we're going to ask is well who are the perpetrators mean all these events go into three stages there's always a sort of mayhem then as a mastermind then as a manhunt the mayhem is where we are now the dust has hardly circled could it be juco you know who's already talked about bringing threats of terrorism to the streets of russia that he is probably going to be the number one suspect here but it's too early to find blame what we're now to what is happening now i'm sure as it will be in any country is gathering the evidence and finding out where is a cause and most importantly could something happen in the next hour the next day the next week this is the beginning of a camp. and so far as far as i'm aware we haven't got anybody admit to the crime one of the rules we dealing with terrorism in the twenty first century is not to stop everything if you can possibly keep some things going it is

a judgment of moscow airport that they can allow some flights in a well that's the court you have to remember that terrorism doesn't actually rely on the bang they were lies on the fear of the bang and so yes we've had a catastrophe and by the sound of it many deaths today which is a tragedy but overall actually you are probably a lot more likely to be hit by lightning than ever be to be killed by a terrorist bomb it is just the random nature of terrorism so if we can carry on business as usual as quickly as we can so much the better i mean there are companies all around the world like take for example one in the u.k. called the anvil company who actually follow their clients through satellite navigation around russia and so on and they're basically now trying to give them advice where they go to the airport or whether they stay behind and so on that's my point about a lot of people affected beyond this but the issue is gather that intelligence as most important make sure your security is as good as it reason we can be and remember we're talking about weapons of mass effect here not weapons of mass

destruction so we still don't know who did it whether it's an affiliate of al qaeda we simply don't know yet. well done with that of international airport is russia's largest airport in terms of passenger traffic connecting moscow to hundreds of cities around the world and it's located twenty two kilometers southeast of the center of moscow here and the number of passengers using the airport exceeds twenty two million per year over nine hundred thousand people use the airport during winter holidays in the festive period between two thousand and ten and two thousand and eleven currently seventy seven airlines both russian and foreign office regular flights to the airport there and flights from the airport covered two hundred forty one national and international routes it's one of the three major moscow airports along with the material and. well more than one hundred eighty others have been injured we're reporting that thirty five have been killed so far but a hundred eighty more injured by the looks of things by the blast in the

international arrivals hall a low security area often filled with waiting family members and taxi drivers where you can now actually see these security pictures from the moment the blast happened and forty of those injured are said to be in critical condition we understand that two british citizens are now thought to be among those killed and police suspect a suicide bomber is to blame but don't yet know whether it was a man or woman or what nationality they were russian president dmitry medvedev has ordered extra security at all of moscow's airports and railway stations to be increased and planes are continuing to land and takeoff at the moment at domodedovo airport all that brings you up to date for the moment the news continues my colleague. in about five minutes from now stay with us live here in moscow on r.t. .
