many passengers traveling to and from domodedovo airport use the airport express train that travels from pavel lecky railway station in central moscow that's where r.t.s. lindsey france reports. 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 the 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 is a lot of anxiety here trains are still stopping 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. after the events at domodedovo president

medvedev has delayed his trip to the swiss city of davos which is hosting the annual world economic forum earlier artie's laura emmett spoke with my colleague bill dodd from davos. we're just at the very very beginning of this forum at the moment it's not until wednesday so leaders and business people are just starting to arrive in. 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 victim is 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 meditate in which she expressed dismay and disgust and the german foreign ministry condemns what they're calling a dreadful and bloody attack in the strongest terms. do you think there will be any negative impact or effect on the proceedings. and. 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. straight 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 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 and who can blame him for. his thoughts of all to see with the victims and their families but it's also going to be one of the main goals of this year is going to be to create a risk response network to a sort of global network to respond. to people here it's i will see we will face

going forward they all 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 be under discussion that will also be people saying this is an attack on the international community but just finally what is the impact it could have all russia's business on this economy off to rule the biggest court here and to have that sort of incident happening at such a key place. d.p. unfortunately of course is the airport of choice for the ex-pat community in moscow as you know 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 safer and i think that's something that will be established in degree hair into. certainly i think the global community and business leaders and world leaders feel it isn't something that we have to confront and not back away from say that may have opposed to the facts the u.n. security council has condemned monday's terror attack in moscow the leaders from many countries including spain and britain have called for russia's president medvedev to offer condolences and aid in helping battle terror or he's got it she has more from washington on the international reaction to the tragedy the u.s. security council is condemning the blast 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 world this monday here is just some of the reaction we're getting to this tragedy at the russian airport to members of the

security council can then in the strongest terms that there is to tack that the curate at the moment that of international airport must go 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 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 tears. we share your sorrow in the resolve to stand with you in our common fight against

terrorism for their political. thoughts are with the families of the victims and we are praying for a successful recovery. also we know that the u.n. 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 was 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 think about it they attacked the busiest international airport in washington the terrorists 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 terrorist don't really care about nationality well what's really shocking to most here is this blast in context of the previous ones russia has suffered from a succession of horrendous terrorist attacks of the last year of the how 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 can all age 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 know to sort of shoulder if 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 far as an advisor to the u.s. congress on terrorism here is what kind of a message he says behind this horrendous attack let's listen. well there are cool important 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 will be 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 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 washer do get funding from a brought 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 is it is 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 rat awake hasn't always been like this for a long time the west would see that terrible things that terrorists had done in russia as part of some rebel separatist movement as they would call it but now it's very much clear to everyone that these things are is 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 that. i have an e-mail in a political analyst from the independent institute in washington tells r.t. that tragedies like the one it domodedovo could draw the u.s. and russia closer 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 who's ahead and who's behind 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're all connected and this is unacceptable in a matter what your cause is fred we are a russian affairs expert from the christian science monitor says that terrorist target weak points and that he personally experienced poor security dead of oh just a few weeks back. you know 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 and 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 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 things they study these things and they select their target

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 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 then after some time after that they've forgotten all about it and and i fear this is yet another example of them. russian president dmitry medvedev has ordered extra security being put in place in all of moscow's airports and railway stations here's what he had to say in response to the attack. he says. the explosion in domodedovo took people's lives are 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 maps and 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 about the most important thing at the moment is to support the victims and their families. the explosion happened in a waiting area usually filled with family members and taxi drivers meeting newly arrived international passengers sorry gabriel author journalist and member of russia's council on defense and foreign policy says it's not by chance that that part of the airport was targeted worst of all is that of course if you go through security control and don't want to hear about supply enough to pass through

a state of the art security. here they're actually organized all being in their area which is not normally checked in any order 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. it really matter whether you was why you were to meet people you still had you know get checked i think the whole thing was leaked said. 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. or it's but it's also very sad lesson for own security services and the police who i understand in this last

couple years it's maybe this side of the whole atmosphere is more lax if we compare it to any it major international airport you can't really say that the security procedures in proceedings at the onset of a bet actually the same heathrow or j.f.k. or shall be called in paris it's relatively the same having said that in this last took three years the security procedures for those oil supply have been improved. it's not just me it's the people who specialize in these things but just by the security procedure at the ones here the very state of the art. but of course even the main terrorist threat that he's in russia he's of course necessary to think once again. maybe unfortunately lead implementing to get to control and security procedures at the very essence of the terminal. where everyone is i'm fine

tomorrow from what we know that airports will be surprised if i am stopped so maybe even surged but then for those of sheremetyevo airport then i would accept you know i would accept it as 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 with a visor can solve this tells our team that following a terror attack it's essential to keep things moving. well first thing to realize that it won't be just moscow airport where tightening up you are about twenty million passengers flying through that airport which actually is a lot less and say heathrow but nonetheless it's a major hump of that part of the world but other 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 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 did 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 really 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 there believe me right now all major airports around the world are looking into this and asking themselves these sort of questions it's 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 and as a manhunt the mayhem is where we are now the dust has hardly circled could it be do you could 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 find blame what we're now sure 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 is just 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's a judgment of moscow airport that they can allow some flights in a well that's the cool 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 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 was an affiliate of al qaeda we simply don't know yet. recapping our breaking story thirty five people dead in a suspected suicide bomb attack on moscow's busiest airport whether one hundred eighty others have been injured by the blast at the international arrivals hall an area often filled with waiting family and taxi drivers you can see here these pictures from c.c.t.v. captured the moment the blast happened. forty of those injured are in critical

condition two british citizens are thought to be among the dead police suspected suicide bomber is to blame but don't yet know whether it was male or female or what nationality russian president dmitry medvedev has ordered extra security at all of moscow's airports and rail stations to be stepped out planes are continuing to take off and land at domodedovo. stay with us here on our t.v. and online at r.t. dot com for all the latest on the tragedy at domodedovo airport. wealthy british style.
