7:30 pm
and she selected to death in which she expressed dismay and disgust and the german foreign ministry condemned what they're calling a dreadful and bloody attack in the strongest terms. do you think there will be any negative impact in effect on the proceedings that. is 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 russia. they were going to talk about the
7:31 pm
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 it is more important and who can blame him for that because 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 risk to people here 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 its economy or to rule. the biggest a. and to have that sort of incident happening at such
7:32 pm
a key place. is the airport of choice for the ex-pat community in moscow as you know. 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 the men really having to having to just go out anyway in any way and so it's not clear what effect this will have on the business climate safer and i think that's something that will be established. and i think the global community and business leaders and world leaders feel that this is something that we have to confront and not back away from say that may have opposed to the fact. the u.n. security council has condemned monday's terror act in moscow leaders from many countries including spain and britain as you've heard have called russia's
7:33 pm
president to offer their condolences and to help in fighting terror or he's got it as well from washington on the international reaction to the tragedy. the u.s. security council has condemned the blasts president obama has done the same he called it an outrageous act of terrorism against the russian people and also expressed condolences to the families of the victims words of sympathy and solidarity were coming from all over the wall this monday here is just some of the reaction we're getting to this tragedy at the washington airport to 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 mosco russian federation on january twenty fourth two thousand and eleven causing the numerous deaths and the injuries. they expressed their deep sympathy and condolences to the victims of this heinous act of terrorism and to their families and to the people and government of
7:34 pm
the russian federation i strongly condemn this outrageous act of terrorism against the russian people at 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 deepest condolences to the russian people who have suffered greatly at the hands of terrorism we share your sorrow in a result to stand with you in our common fight against those who used 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 also we know that the u.s. security council is going to start their session on tuesday with a minute of silence in memory of the victims we also have a statement from nato secretary general who said he will shocked by this attack he says terrorism is a common threat and the international community has to fight it together and this
7:35 pm
really was an act of international terrorism if you think about it they attacked the busiest international airport in washington a terrorist clearly knew that not. only washington nationals are going to suffer moreover we're getting reports about french italian nationals caught up in this tragic attack this could suggest that kerry's don't really care about nationality well what's really shocking to most here is this blast in context of the previous ones where she has suffered from a succession of horrendous terrorist attacks over the last year and a health there were the moscow metro suicide bombings last march there was the attack on the passenger train a little bit over a year ago so russia is falling victim to terrorism on a regular basis and only recently has the united states and the west the general started to sort of a knowledge that this is part of international terrorism and not just washes the mask they gave shoes security experts point out that these monsters could actually be staging the attacks to raise funds from international terrorist networks you
7:36 pm
know to sort of shoulder they can pull this off and in russia it is not as difficult to pull it off as say the united states we have earlier talked to walid faurisson advisor to the u.s. congress on terrorism here is what kind of a message he says behind this horrendous attack let's listen. there are tool important notes here for international observers number one is that there's a track against most schools airport which was bloody this is a massacre it's also a message to all the entire international community that the terrorists been able to discover more areas where governments in general in mosul in 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
7:37 pm
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 inside before violence worldwide across the borders. where should security officials believe that terrorist groups operating in washer do get funding from abroad some of the members are actually known to have been trained abroad so really to stop this there has to be an international effort you know he said it's like this 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's talking about terrorism as a common threat that the international community has to fight fight it together and so on and so forth but the rather wake hasn't always been like this where a long time the west would see that terrible things that terrorists adani russia as part of some rebel separatist movement as they would call it but now it's very much
7:38 pm
clear to everyone that these things are in threat to the whole of the international community and that their actions cannot be justified by anything but again it took the west a while to realize this. in a political analyst from the independent institute in washington tells r.t. that tragedies like the one a double bed of zero 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
7:39 pm
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 the international politics we tend to get you know wrapped up in the you know who's ahead and who's behind it and what who's interested is in 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 are all connected and this is unacceptable in a matter what your cause is fred we are russian affairs expert from the christian
7:40 pm
science monitor says that terrorist target weak points that he personally experienced poor security of all airport only a few weeks ago. you know i i think that we will we know that is the gate way to the north caucasus as far as russian domestic airports go from 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 notice that security is lax and and they select these places for for max an impact and i know since i went through the bill just because weeks ago their security measures had really fallen off i suppose it
7:41 pm
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 i'm sure introduced may have made them speed up made them perhaps less more careless 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 targets it's the see 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 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
7:42 pm
they've forgotten all about it and and i fear this is yet another example of that. russian president medvedev has ordered actress security be put in place and all of moscow's airports and or our way stations here's what he had to say in response to the brutal attack. he says. the explosion in domodedovo took people's lives i've 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've recently approved a number of laws on that we need to check that those laws are working because what's happened shows not all of those rulings are being properly applied we have to look into that the most important thing at the moment is to support the victims
7:43 pm
and their families. the explosion happened in a waiting area usually filled with family members and taxi driver is waiting newly arrived at rational passengers a journalist a member of russia's callous law defense and foreign policy says it's not by chance that that part of the airport was targeted and 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 organize the whole thing 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 guys and just we were right. if memory serves well about seven or eight years ago there was a priest. to check everyone at the terminal.
7:44 pm
it really matter whether you was why you were to meet people. you know get checked i think the whole thing was leave. five or six years ago. and he's a results so you know the whole thing is very sad it's a very sad lesson all of us normal passengers are used. but it's also a very sad lesson for own security services and the police who i understand in this last couple of years it's maybe this side of the legal atmosphere is more lax if we compare it to any major international airport you can't really say that these security procedures in proceedings at the ones. that actually the same person with heathrow or j.f.k. or shall go in paris it's relatively the same having sat in this last two or three years the security procedure for those quotes apply have been improved. it's not
7:45 pm
just me it's the people who specialize in these things which describe the security procedure at them when they're the most state of the art. but of course even the major terrorist threat eason russia it is of course necessary to think once again. maybe unfortunately leaking implementing to cutie control and security procedures at the very end of the terminal. for everyone and that i am going to morrow come from another board i would be surprised if i am stopped so maybe even searched the ben ferguson show or don't i would accept it you know i would accept it as a normal citizen i would accept a good bizarre explicable security arrangements given the circumstances peter power a u.k. based crisis management specialist from visor consultants tells our team that following a terrorist attack it's essential to keep things moving. the first thing to realize
7:46 pm
that it won't be just moscow airport where tightening up you get 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 every over a wide area it could be detonated by a mobile phone providing it's at a 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 give 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 photo. of a head of security that you actually detain women but then let them on so light
7:47 pm
think that the security is being tightened he said 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 you'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 and 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 he is probably going to be the number one suspect here but it's too early to point the blame when now to what's 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 campaign and so far as far as i'm aware we haven't got anybody admit to the crime one of the rules with dealing with terrorism in the twenty first century is now. not to stop everything if you can possibly keep things going it is
7:48 pm
a judgment of moscow airport that they can allow some flights in a well that's the core 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 heard of the 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 it would 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 busily 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
7:49 pm
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. and recapping our breaking story thirty five people killed in a suspected suicide bomb attack at moscow's busiest airport more than one hundred eighty others have been injured by the blast at the international arrivals hall and area often filled with waiting family members and taxi drivers you can now see these security pictures from the moment the blast happened you can see the flash right there forty of those people injured are in critical condition two british citizens are now thought to be among the dead police suspected suicide bombers to blame but don't know yet whether it was a man or a woman or their nationality russian president dmitri medvedev has ordered extra security at all of moscow's airports and railway stations to be stepped up planes are continuing to land and take off from that of the airport. stay with us here on r t and on line at r.t. dot com for all the latest on the tragedy of.
