it should be exterminated president. management is also being. killed. off the month. human rights watch. committee.

worldwide news. the management. is being held responsible for allowing a suicide bomber a devastating attack on monday president dmitri medvedev says it was poor attention to security which led to the blast of the country's biggest port the suspected suicide bomber killed thirty five people and left around one hundred eighty injured the explosion which took place in the international arrivals area is russia's worst terrorist atrocity since twin bombings. last march around a hundred people caught up in the airport blast being treated in hospitals across the capital let's not get more details about this from. the country's president has. to say for those responsible for the blast at the.

indeed yes some very harsh decisive words this afternoon from the president following his meeting with the federal security bureau on what preventative measures can be put on put in place to stop this sort of attack happening again he said the primary aim now was to catch those responsible and to bring them to justice saying that if they resist then they'll be killed on the spot and even exterminated. national mortgages the national disaster science in our state in general has once again being brutally challenged but i think this is clear to everybody present 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 hierarchs of those bandits should be exterminated dispose of them up as usual we should deal and serum only asli with those who offer resistance they should be killed on the sponsors of them. is that. earlier today the president also pointed the finger of blame firmly at the airport or forty's here at

domodedovo saying there were clearly security breaches to allow this vast amount of explosives into the building in the first place the investigative committee this afternoon has concluded that the attack was carried out by a suicide bomber with five kilograms of plastic explosives and a device containing shards of metal ball bearings and also a piece of iron wire to destroy as many people as possible and to cause as much damage as possible now the explosion actually took place in the waiting area where friends and drivers wait for people coming out of the international arrivals terminal and yes they anyone going into that area would have been unhindered in terms of security just very scant security in that area there's no extrema sheens the baggage there's no metal detectors one has to walk through and so anyone going in there would have been completely. that's what it is saying this is clearly the breach of security now the airport authorities they say they don't think that's

actually their fault they don't see it as their jurisdiction they see their job is to provide security in terms of air transport so they feel that their obligation how people feel they actually say is the jurisdiction of transport police however version of yet it is saying that those that the airport should take responsibility for this and those accountable will be punished for the blast happened yesterday at four thirty two pm moscow time at airport where you are now we know the security was amped up immediately we heard that some flights have been rerouted to. one of the other three moscow airports tell me this is a business as usual now or don't we get a flight back want to show you all has everything calmed down. certainly has a remarkably normal and calm inside the airport everything seems to be business as usual the only. on face value that's that's the case but the only sort of you. way though is this significantly increased security presence at every entrance to the

airport everyone coming into the airport is having to go through security checks put their baggage and all their belongings through x. major x. ray machines as if they're going through customs leaving the country and also walk through metal detectors and so obviously security in the police presence here is on still on high alert now the forensics teams are still working the scene at the waiting area to the international arrivals terminal so there is still shots off. and passengers arriving in. now being rerouted through into the main departure of or so in that sense things a little bit different today at the airport the investigation others say is still ongoing here and the investigation committee has said that they have found the remains of the suicide bomber and concluded that it was indeed a suicide bomber still trying to find out. try and find out who he was and try and identify him and there are also reports that the authorities are now looking for a possible accomplice is they say they're looking for three men who may have

dropped the suicide bomb off at the airport prior to the explosion but there isn't any comment yet as to who they think could be responsible for this deadly attack artes are better than reporting live from. thank you. fred where is the moscow bureau chief for the christian science monitor newspaper he believes terrorists have been studying security we point song at moscow's transport system. well we know that is the gate way to the north caucasus it's 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 notice that security is lax and and they

select these places for for maximum impact and i know since i went through to get a bill just because weeks ago their security measures had 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 they had all these problems i'm sure introduced may have made them speed up maybe i'm perhaps more careless. on investigative journalist poll last mob based in london says that any big transport hub is abominable to this type of attack 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 a time you can all say oh it's over and done with there's not going to be another bomb but we've seen before that terrorists are quite good sort of set in one

explosion and then one short with all of the woods even sometimes that's the liberal but in the case above the back in two thousand and five people who for made from a underground station onto a bus that bus was there or not so you really got to get very tight security meet didley but ultimately it's very very hard to protect all transport hubs in the capital city i think. now the bloody scenes at domodedovo airport have parallels to a brutal computer game it controversially involves a character who kills civilians in an imaginary moscow airport artie's a long list of looks at how fantasy became reality a terrorist attack kills dozens of innocent people in creates chaos at a moscow airport fact. it was fiction it's the scenario being played out here in this popular american video game sold worldwide call of

duty modern warfare two dubbed no russian in this mission the player goes on a terrorist rampage 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 edge of o. airport more than thirty people have been killed more than one hundred eighty injured in what investigators believe was a terrorist attack tarzan 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 youtube search where you type in no russian can reveal that segment right 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 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 apply 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 manufacturers always deny that it has any influence on anyone your range of public figures came out condemning be attacked but so far no one is coming out questioning justification for a virtual version lauren mr r.t. new york. are not ask about the main story. from moscow we're still talking about yesterday's bomb blast. one hundred of those injured in the attack remain in hospital now across the russian capital we get more details from. the hospital. and

what we know about the condition of those who were injured one can only imagine all sorts of various types of shrapnel wounds. well yes the people who are still in hospital we're hearing around eighty four of the one hundred eighty who were initially injured in this blast are still remaining in hospital receiving treatment half of those their condition is said to be serious or critical now they're being treated for serious burns and injuries caused by shrapnel. not just russian nationals of course caught up in this blast this took place at the international arrivals residence from citizens of a pardon from countries around the world including germany great britain bulgaria ukraine as well as. really in an international tragedy they are receiving treatment hospitals across moscow the moment no president dmitri medvedev has made a visit to the hospital where i am right now in the city center to see firsthand

the medical operation that's ongoing also prime minister vladimir putin has been visiting hospitals is his role as prime minister it comes under his remit to make sure that the people under the care of the hospitals here in russia have the right amount of supplies the medical staff the doctors have the right amount of supplies to make sure that they can treat these patients he's been assured that they do when they're all care can be taken all of these people who are still in hospital as they say mostly whole most half of the people remaining in hospital in a critical or serious condition and we can now hear from people who witnessed this blast at the end of the airport and saw. the terrible injuries that this explosion caused. blast threw me three meters back and i stood up everyone was running towards the exit panicking there was a lot of black smoke and the lights went out i went for a medical check out at first i thought i had a wound on my head but it turned out i just had someone else's blood on me reisa

people covered in blood with injured limbs and the ones their faces were covered with blood q some were unconscious there was a feeling that something big something heavy fell down there is a construction site near there so we thought that the workers dropped something heavy but people from the second floor say that they felt a shake of the building. we were leaving the airport when we had the explosion and when we were leaving the large claim area there was something in the air in there was smoke and our friends were calling us saying that there was an explosion and they were victims of the bomb was not in the baggage area but tried behind the doors in the crowd of people welcoming us in the airport principia you're going to do only up to me we heard a loud being in the far away huge commotion started immediately the scene was quickly secure the police were everywhere evacuating people and offering them first aid. but with many people remaining gravely ill in

hospital still following this explosion one bit of good news there we do have is there's been no further fatalities the number of dead from this explosion. standing at thirty five now the hospitals here in moscow are appealing for donors to come forward and give blood they have received many people doing just that in order that they could have this blood this in very important resource so that they can treat people as i say suffering from serious burns and injuries caused from shrapnel peter and certainly all of us here at r.t. wishing injured a speedy recovery. for their reporting from a central moscow hospital but we'll be bringing you more from moscow's airport throughout the day here on r.t. and you can get all the details about the blast on our website r.t. dot com all the latest video the eyewitness accounts expert opinion and much more available for you online at r.t. dot com.

now because of the airport attack president if you are there for delayed his appearance at the world economic forum in switzerland he was due to make the opening speech that decision follows expressions of support from across the international community and there are signs of a gradual acceptance that north korea stream is and has international routes. 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 in 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 is from leaders all around the world and of course he can expect more of the 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 so 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 dagestan ingushetia but we've seen more and more recently particularly in the aftermath of the moscow metro bombings last year that world leaders have come out and recognize that as part of a wider global terror threat insurgency in the north caucasus. has connections

with groups in the middle east and in other parts of the world there are courses for it but are local in the this is in my view part of march wider international threat and that was a picture miserly 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 medvedev can expect more messages of consoling condolence and of solidarity from leaders around the world. that was our reporting from davos well the terrifying blast of the along with other recent terrorist attacks in the russian capital have left many asking if the fight against terrorism can be won now you can share your opinions on this issue through our online poll at r.t. top comments let's take a look now and see what some of those results are at this point almost two thirds

of you sixty seven percent are pessimistic suggesting that victory over terrorism is a pipe dream of desperate optimists and only a third if you thirty three percent believe terrorism can be defeated if enough effort is applied those are the results so far but you can always have your say log on to r.t. dot com. or rushers lower house of parliament has finalized talks on the ratification of the russia u.s. strategic arms reduction treaty a vote on the start deal is due to take place in less than an hour to use it you could have been following the hearing. the meeting started with a note of sorrow a minute of silence commemorating the victims of monday's attack and calls them either the airport the vault on the new strategic arms reduction treaty between moscow and washington is going to be held at around five pm moscow time it's known that in the same fashion as the us congress the state duma is also making its

amendments to the treaty which is expected to reduce the number of nuclear arms on each side by around one third which is significant in terms of the global nuclear arms reduction for more on this i'm joined by the head of the state duma can communicate for international affairs because they 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. will when the two presidents signed the treaty is the big redeploy on trying to synchronize the rectification procedures. by that i believe they meant the. act of rectification like saying guess what 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 right even to amend 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 leave us any choice but to follow the same pattern and to introduce our own interpretations in order to balance the interpretations made by by by the senate and this is this is our work which we complete today we have amended the british u.k. . not the treaty itself but their equivocation was presented to the duma by the president going to be here for best two more statements one of them for. consumption in the united states and the other one is for consumption here within russia one is further explanations of how we interpret this text in the

future and the second one is what we think about the need for developing the strategic nuclear potential for usher in terms of governmental programs in terms of decisions by the president of russia. now it's just after twenty minutes past the hour here in moscow you with r.t. the findings of an explosive report by swiss human rights investigator dick marty into alleged organ trafficking in kosovo is being debated by the council of europe the reporter who says the cause of our liberation army of killing serbian prisoners and selling their organs on the black market back in two thousand and is r t is covering a lot of our reports with grim details emerging on the international community demanding answers. without a trace that's how the brother disappeared along with thousands of other people. he went to work as usual with his friends to the blots of its mine and that was it i never saw him again there's so many serbs are still missing now after twelve

years i've lost. after the cost of 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 fashion touchy or involved in kidnapping serbs and selling their organs on the black market there was at least one custom built element to the post conflict network of detention facilities which was unique in appearance and purpose it constituted a state of the art reception center for the organized crime traffic and it was styled as a makeshift operating clinic and it was the site at which some of the captives held by the k.o.a. members and affiliates had moved against their will finding living victims of these

crimes may be near impossible but dick marty's group found the next best thing the money trail and. the cost of a liberation army have these accounts in swiss and german banks or and they are suspected of using them for the profits from illegal trafficking this is that some alleged humanitarian organization opened these accounts so that the true purpose of the money would remain a secret. but it is a secret no more and understandably the swiss government is very concerned as are the swiss bankers 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 is

what swiss banks are famous for despite the fact the investigation is still ongoing it is almost certain that within these walls damage control is already being planned out. cash as are. switzerland. or not the meter is here with the latest from the world office. thanks so much rory the markets in russia have reacted calmly to the bombing of domodedovo airport where you have staged a recovery since the initial selloff when the news broke on monday afternoon now joining me to discuss the possible impact of the attack on russia's investment climate is david cardwell chief economist at saxo bank take david thank you very much for being with us so do you think this is a sign that russia's and investment climate has pretty much not been affected i believe it hasn't been affected. empirical test of the terror attacks so showing

that. we usually see a recovery in the stock markets. between one and five days after a terror attack has happened i think the same will be the case here no obvious reasons to expect that they will have any lasting impact on the russian investment climate or risk premium for that sake obviously russian airliners might be hit. and that might take some time for them but. i don't see you know if you should have any impact on cash flows anyway and therefore also not on the i will go for the stocks or the broader stock market in russia so how significant is the risk premium for russia. well i think it is significant because russian stocks are very cheap if you just compare their cash flow their price reading their price book that they did in you so obviously it must be significant for russian stocks compared to stocks in the u.s. for example. say anything like that will cause

a bit of course happened in the united states would you think do you think this would have been a completely different reaction in the world you know i don't think so only only for stocks where it's having a real impact on their on the earnings of the cash flow you should see a lasting effect and that's usually not the case for terror attacks. but does that mean that we are in a different world than say the time of the nine eleven attack when there was a fall for several days. i think there was a different point in time because we were in a peer market at the time and the market was already very nervous but the even though we were in a bear market not at nine eleven stock markets were actually recovering only a few days after the terror well president meets with it is due to speak at the devils forum with his opening speech do you think there will be some kind of message for global players to continue bursting into russia's economy that. well

that's what i expect from him yes but it makes sense all right. ok thank you so much dan your calls from the bank thank you so much for being with us david calls but i'm very sorry i'm confused today take a look at the figures for the russian markets now both the mice and the r.t.s. are flat to some stocks are coming under pressure from the fall in the oil price that's after saudi arabia hinted it may raise crude output to satisfy a rising demand now the r.t.s. is up four point one percent you can see that my six pretty much close about values you. look at some of the detail retails and some of the stocks bank shares are up one a half percent on the myself of the country's top lender saw twenty percent profit rise five fold but that's under russian accounting standards of course the t.v. is flat however after reporting for foreign producers and profits oil continues to go down and despite that russian balls are trying to push up energy stocks lukoil is up going to percent today. and in europe u.k. support c.

has slipped into the red point four percent after data showed an unexpected contraction in the u.k. economy in the fourth quarter of last year siemens is up one percent after its results came in stronger than expected. and that's the business but i'll be back in one hour's time to see them.

it was the strangest attempt of a military takeover of. the us president trying to overthrow a foreign country's government but his strategic games must. under merica recognized its defeat. questioning if cuba managed to cope with its victory all don't talk at all if you will get a lot of paper i leave you think you are you go but the rajab live here the cuban missile crisis games and reality t.v. . news today violence is once again flared up. these are the images kobold has been seeing from the streets of canada.
