7:00 am
it's clear that we need to do everything for the perpetrators of this crime to be identified and they should be exterminated. as the country's security services to act decisively in the wake of a terror. attack killed at least thirty five to one hundred investigators believe the attack was most likely a suicide bombing and international terrorists are involved making it more than just an internal issue. between moscow and washington. before its ratification. trafficking accusations against the highest ranking
7:01 am
officials. to be discussed in the council of europe as it sits down to debate a report by a swiss investigator. a very warm welcome to you this is live from moscow terrorists should be identified found and of put to justice in case they resist they should be immediately eradicated according to russia's president to be treatment if he's been meeting with federal security service officials the discussions follow the deadly blast at the country's largest one monday which killed thirty five and injured around one hundred eighty. of the blast there she is keeping across all the developments. yesterday it was a very quickly after the initial blast just after four thirty in the afternoon moscow time. but the russian president went straight to the airwaves to talk to the
7:02 am
public to alleviate some concerns on the nerves today we're also hearing some more strong statements from concerning the attacks what else has he had to say. well the explosion. considered an attack on the state and the response to that will be those criminals being found and brought to justice and if they resist they will be exterminated so incredibly strong language there from president bader speaking to the interior ministry and the federal security service earlier today we can hear more from not me. society and our state in general has once again been brutally challenged i think this is clear to everybody prisons in this room it is equally clear that we need to do everything for the perpetrators of this crime to be identified and brought to justice and the hideouts of those bandits should be exterminated as usual we should deal. with those who offer
7:03 am
resistance they should be killed on the spot. is that. now we have been speaking at the meeting that he was also we've seen the finger of blame pointing today at the airport authorities themselves he said that they need to take responsibility for their part to play in this and the failure to have in place. preventive measures to stop this attack happening but now we know that the investigations committee at the moment is questioning a lot of the airport stuff that we have pressed him in vegas saying at that meeting that he considered the very security breaches that those responsible will be people will be held accountable. but it's so it's not only the suicide bomber here who is being blamed for the talk of time what's being said about the work of the security services. well it's really thought that enough matches went in places you'd expect today security has been great we saw that happening not just
7:04 am
a dummy dead of a bit other main transportation hubs around moscow as well today when you actually add to the airport there is extra security in place you have to put your luggage through a metal detector is seen as the end to the airport but really serious questions being asked as to why this was an in place before the attack happened they clearly have the capabilities they have in place and that's resulted in the explosion that we saw yesterday at four thirty pm at the peak of revival time at the airport thirty flights coming in fifteen of those international flights tragically resulting in the death of thirty five people who already over one hundred eighty injured associates have really very serious questions being also as to why this was able to happen in the first place as you were saying you know so yesterday at four thirty pm thirty flights were incoming to the. port of fifteen of them international we know the is the busiest airport here in russia tony hasn't recovered yet from yesterday's horas. truck. with the airport is
7:05 am
operational at the moment as you said taking a little longer to get in the airport and we saw a very quick response yesterday after the attack happened managed to divert some of the flights that were in the two separate pools and the very quickly got things back on track and we've seen today again this kind of situation normal except for that increased security at the people who really know looking very closely to finding exactly who is responsible for this investigators still on the scene at the moment doing all they can to gather all the information we've seen the c.c.t.v. footage the pool cameras in the airport being placed these streets and i know we have president today to say as well as the airport authorities needing to be questioned they're going to need to look at the country's antiterrorism laws. these are stepped up after the attacks that we saw in the nest express and the. know it took the. place of being strengthened to avoid further attacks and we see now that
7:06 am
they're going to really be looking for any weaknesses in the system we've also heard the surrogates and we got in saying he was here the scene yesterday off to the attack he said that he's going to be looking very closely at not just the airport security but at the whole city's security he doesn't just want this to be strengthened for a couple of days or a couple of weeks after this attack he was. in place and we've had this by president midday today massive issue on security here they want to make sure that every measure is in place to ensure that something like this doesn't happen again or any of the reporting live from i don't know due to the start of yesterday's boston just as you were saying four thirty pm or it's or thank you for that well right after the meeting with the federal security service officials president medvedev arrived at moscow's main emergency hospital over one hundred people are now undergoing treatment and clinics across the capital thirty nine of them are in
7:07 am
a serious condition and four in critical state lindsey france is also at the hospital that went to visit. president medvedev made a special stop here at the hospital today spending time with the injured and the friends and family who have sort of made this place their second home for the time being of the injured eight are foreigners having come from england france italy serbia and. the head of emergency services here at the hospital did take time to tell us a little bit about the injured here and what they're dealing with. eleven people have been taken to our hospital seven of them those in serious condition have undergone surgery one of those patients is in the extremely serious condition . we've carried out wherever possible when the patients arrived yesterday we got the impression they mainly had injuries but then examinations showed that they had
7:08 am
fragments are they bodies those injured will be receiving in the neighborhood of two hundred and four hundred thousand rubles for a compensation for their injuries and stay in this is after also prime minister vladimir putin met yesterday with the health minister and urged her and her deputies to go to the area hospitals to ensure that there's more than enough medicine and staff on duty and that there is enough blood for transfusions just making sure that everything runs smoothly to get these people well as soon as possible another area hospital head spoke today about the situation he's dealing with at his hospital. many patients have fragmented injuries from the blast and shattered glass we still have a lot of work to do the main procedures were performed overnight and some patients have improved prognosis for those patients we have treated is positive. and compensation will also be given to the families of the deceased in this situation
7:09 am
one million roubles will be given to those families on top of help from the city and planning those funerals which are slated to begin no earlier than thursday. it isn't as you france reporting there now for more on the attack we can talk to you got a lot from the institute of world economy and international relations investigators say the attack was carried out by a man not by a woman or women like we saw last year at the moscow march metro bombings with such varying tactics being carried out by the terrorists it only makes the job of the intelligence services more difficult for. terrorists rather their tactics to march see if they actually employ people who are ready to do the job of this or that specific moment of time usually women are more preferable as they attract usually less attention and people don't suspect women to be terrorists or a new source of danger is just a psychological matter of psychology here so if we talk take
7:10 am
a look classic first you say a bomb or for instance in palestinian usually it's a male so in this case it's a traditional suicide bomb and if you can talk about say about it so it's quite traditional tactics let's talk about the victims of yesterday's blast at domodedovo airport how full of foreigners were killed and severely injured as well do you think yesterday's blast wake up the world to what is seen by many as the global threat of terrorism yes terrorism is global in our globalized world and terrorists are those who organize terrorist attacks they usually try to pick up targets we should track back some attention and usually they try to target our common people and usually they try to target not only the citizens of the country where the committed their crimes but also foreigners who come to the punch because it gives. all the shoe international agenda. terrorists is to attract public
7:11 am
attention because most of terrorist organizations they are sponsored from abroad especially those russian and of course they have to explain to sponsors why there are t.v. to be effective. so. usually they try to hit soft targets like underground was to turn the wrist in more school year ago and now they try to. hit international hop images of these major international harbin russia so they try to target this kind of like that so let's address an issue that hasn't really seen much examination at all over the last twenty four hours or so you are an economics expert talk to me about about how this could possibly have an economic realm of ramifications for russia moscow is a massive financial hub do you think of such an indiscriminate bombing at the airport discourage foreign investors do you think you know. really prudent when doing business in russia and they usually have understand there is a certain amount of risk averse to come into israel with their money and you know if you talk about the chance of being cured by terrorists in russia or in israel
7:12 am
it's absolutely in comparable in russia terrorism especially in central russia is still exhorted so it doesn't happen very often and. it's not a risk for every person unlike for instance israel where every person is afraid of being the victim of terrorist attacks i don't i don't think it will have any kind of economic consequences for russia there are still many tourists today i was driving to cross small square was in the downtown to a lot of foreign tourists doing side see what i saw that were foreign tourists or here you're saying the foreign investment will still come to russia let's talk about the psychological effect here rather than the economic effect of the attacks suicide bombers such as this that they're trying to spread fear and panic you think they've succeeded this time after yesterday's yesterday's attack less than one year after the moscow march metro bombings of course terrorists tried to instill fear and panic of their target that's where the use of this. suicide bomb attack takes
7:13 am
but you know. russian society unfortunately i used to live with these kind of threat of terrorist attacks don't happen very often and most people of course the understand it's there's a certain sort of chances of being a victim but i don't think it is. it was for it's really hard because you know a day spent a lot of time in downtown malls was to go shopping to still go to caucus because my one much like to the metro bombings last year yeah the bombings occurred people still got on the buses they still got on the metro they still went to work and after yesterday's they did of attack people are still going around their goal. of course it's an awful thing that happened nobody wants to have such a tragedy happen to himself or a member of his family people of course more of the victims but still people still alive a lot of eyes on lot of those i was all right you got from the institute of world
7:14 am
economy and international relations thank you very much. for the blast of the moscow airport may also affect the upcoming world economic forum that's in the swiss town of russia's president dmitri medvedev there was showed you all to open the summit but after the attack he said he would delay his arrival assays it more and more reports from switzerland. we've heard no word that he's cancelling it all together so we still are expecting him to come to davos at some stage this week he was supposed to make this very important opening speech but now it looks like he may may not make that speech we don't know whether he's going to be here on wednesday in time to make it so someone else may have to make it to his place we have heard that he may come on thursday or he may come on wednesday to make that speech and then leave almost immediately afterwards in the aftermath of this tragedy president medvedev received telephone calls and letters and messages of condolence to leaders all around the world and of course he can expect more of the
7:15 am
same when he arrives here in davos if indeed he does come the u.k. prime minister david cameron will be here and of course we now know that two britons were killed in this attack the we can expect them to have a conversation about that and it's interesting what's happened as far as attitudes in the world towards terror attacks in russia go in recent years previously it was seen as very much a problem the attacks that happened in russia were part of a distinctly russian problem stemming from unrest in the caucasus areas like data start in english but we've seen more and more recently particularly in the aftermath of the moscow metro bombings last year old leaders have come out and recognize that as part of a wider global terror threat and said you know we now know that the people who are attacking airports in metro stations in russia have proven links to al qaida some of them have been funded by them some of them of going to training camps in other countries that's been more and more recognizes part of this global terror threat
7:16 am
and that was appeared to my eyes really by the chief of nato mr rasmussen who came out and said this is a common fight that we have to face united that was his message to the people of russia and expect more messages of consoler condolence and of solidarity from leaders around the world. and artie's are nor any of their reporting or the bloody scenes of the moscow attack are reminiscent of what can be seen in a computer game and controversially involves a character who was urged to kill civilians in an imaginary airport the aftermath of monday's blast has sparked hot debate as the methods of a fictional computer game become a shocking reality. lauren mr reports a terrorist attack kills dozens of innocent people in creates chaos at a moscow airport fact. or fiction it's the scenario being played out here in this popular american video game sold worldwide call of
7:17 am
duty modern warfare two dubbed no russian in this mission the player goes on a terrorist regime page hoping to massacre civilians in a fictitious moscow airport it may have seemed too gruesome and tragic to become true were it not for the very real events seen here at the dome of judge of the airport more than thirty people have been killed more than one hundred eighty injured in what investigators believe was a terrorist attack committed by a suicide bomber inside the international arrivals of russia's busiest airport. tars a video game version a lot more people have been involved in this violent video game was released in november of two thousand and nine by the american company activision and in just a few months sales had surpassed one billion dollars now even for people that didn't download the game just a simple you tube search where you type in no russian can reveal that segment right
7:18 am
here this one has eight hundred seventy thousand views now with so many people seemingly downloading playing or watching this game you have to consider whether or not anybody ever thought that this game could so closely resemble reality indeed it's trouble to look at the game and then the reality of the issue is we need to know if terrorists or extremists are using these videos or these d.v.d.'s with these games to basically applaud the model there's a way in which you know entertainment mirrors reality and reality mirrors entertainment and there are people who are influenced by all this even though the manufacturer has always denied that it has any influence on anyone. denials aside some say games like this can aid and abet reality. i think though who have been radicalized already let's suppose in this case you. or other crime they look at the games and see that these games will serve them to train as for the aftermath
7:19 am
russian officials say don't worry judgeable airport will recover quite soon and a range of public figures came out condemning the attack. but so far no one is coming out questioning justification for a virtual version lauren lyster r.t. new york we'll be bringing you more from moscow's demoted of airports throughout the day here on artsy and you can always get the details about the blast on our website that's dot com there you'll find the latest video also eyewitness comments expert opinion and much much more available for you twenty four seven on. you with our team becoming to you live from moscow where it's now are just turning

7:21 am
think essential thank you very much for joining me. first of all can you tell us more about these amendments and why are they being implemented. when the two presidents signed the treaty is the big redeployment trying to synchronize the rectification procedures. by that i believe they meant the. act of or if occasionally saying here so no to the to the treaty that was the initial idea and unfortunately we could not follow this idea for the simple reason that our american partners in the senate started to interpret the treaty the droid even to demand of the text of the treaty which would have been absolutely outrageous but they did not amend the treaty itself but they made certain to pretty certain. statements which did not say any choice but to follow the same pattern we have demanded the british
7:22 am
occasion blore presented to the duma by the president and we have passed two more statements one is further explanations of how we interpret this text in the future and the second one is what we think about the need. well for developing the strategic nuclear potential for usher in terms of governmental programs in terms of decisions by the president of russia. you're going to scoff reporting that now the council of europe will debate the findings of an explosive report into the alleged trafficking of organs and cause of are the claims were contained in an inquiry by a swiss human rights report dick marty is accusing high ranking members of the cause of our liberation army of a murdering a serbian and cause of albanian prisoners and selling their organs almost two thousand ethnic serbs and albanians remain missing from the cause of our war at the end of the one nine hundred ninety s. as r.t. is it going to bring us out of our reports without a trace that's how the silence brother disappeared along with thousands of other
7:23 am
people. he went to work as usual with his friends to the births of its mine and that was it i never saw him again we went to the police and everyone else we could think of after the war i thought there'd be an exchange of prisoners and hundreds of obedience were freed the so many serbs are still missing now after twelve years i've lost all the international officials who didn't do anything when the easily could have after the cost of a war over two thousand people went missing and over a decade later are still unaccounted for but a grim report brought to the council of europe by swiss investigator dick marty has shed some light on the gruesome fate of all those missing according to the report senior officials in the cost of the liberation army including current prime minister question touchy were involved in kidnapping serbs and selling their organs on the black market. there was at least one custom built element to the post
7:24 am
conflict network of detention facilities which was unique in appearance and purpose it constituted a state of the art reception sensor for the organized crime of trafficking it was styled as a makeshift operates in clinic and it was the site at which some of the captives held by the k.l.a. members and affiliates had the good news removed against their will according to our sources the ringleaders of this criminal enterprise then shipped the human organs out of albania and sold them to private overseas clinics as part of the international black market of trafficking transplantation. finding living victims of these crimes may be near impossible but dick marty's group found the next best thing the money trail and. liberation army have these accounts and so it's in german banks and they're suspected of using them for the profits from illegal organ trafficking sumption is that some alleged human interior an organization opened these accounts one of them for example the skull. there was just

a cover story of course so that the true purpose would remain a secret. but it is a secret no more and understandably the swiss government is very concerned as are the swiss bankers this is very important for us regarding also the confidence i've drifted to the financial center of switzerland and that's why. this. is the swiss banking community is known and favored for its discretion and unwillingness to disclose its client information to any investigative party however this time around they may not have a choice but on the plots of the financial epicenter of zero most of the countries four hundred seventy financial institutions have offices or headquarters here but that isn't the only thing they. have in common fiercely guarding their reputation
