welcome to the program. the management at rushers at domodedovo airport is being held responsible for allowing a suicide bomber to carry out a devastating attack there on monday president to me treatment yet says it was poor attention to security which led to the blast of the country's biggest and busiest airport 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 russian's worst terrorist atrocity since twenty bombings rocked the moscow metro system last march over one hundred people were caught up in the airport blast and are being treated at hospitals across the capital we cannot cross live to our i bennett who's our go to go now live from the dumb idea of an airport hello to you

ivor so the country's president not exactly biting his tongue here he had some very strong words for those responsible for the event at the airport didn't. put times like this decisive leadership is required of course and both president and prime minister coming out with extremely strongly worded statements today showing that they really mean business with this investigation not mincing their words when it comes to find the perpetrators of this attack first the president the president of the end of this afternoon said that the primary aim now is obviously to find those responsible for the attack and bring them to justice he said should they resist they will be killed in the sports and eliminated. national. our society and our state in general has once again been brutally challenged 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 hideouts of those bandits should be exterminated as usual we should

deal unceremoniously with those who resist they should be killed on the spot is the . prime minister putin followed this comment with a comment of his own equally strongly worded and it's. acting as sort of an reassurance that this investigation will indeed six easy said it was in everett those who meted out this punishment on others will be punished themselves and the perpetrators of this attack left thirty five people dead and still one hundred eleven people in hospital they will be brought to justice. with an opponent cruel and senseless crimes committed at dawn we did have an airport many people were killed and many injured and i do not have any doubt that the crime will be uncovered and retaliation will be inevitable the task of the government now is to provide support for the families of those killed and injured. earlier today president medvedev was pointing the finger of blame firmly at the feet of the

airport authorities here don't ever saying there was a clear security breach to allow such a vast amount of explosives into the airport building it. have found that they've concluded there was a suicide bomber carrying five kilograms worth of explosives and going into the airport the area where the explosion happened the arrivals area where people wait to meet people off for international arrivals fresh out of baggage reclaim and going in there yes they would not have had any and the authorities are obviously very upset they were actually broadcasting here still not being allowed to film a live here a guard is actually holding his hand over our camera lens saying we're not allowed to film now so clearly a very sensitive amas fear here today saying that. the airport authorities are responsible and so they don't want are saying that at all they haven't been out to us to film inside the building a they're. all right ivan thanks for doing that report so obviously security is

still very strict. over airport the busiest airport here in in all of russia of course it was a scene of yesterday's explosion a kill thirty five we had i've been reporting just now about security came along and put their gloved hands over the lens of the camera saying them off and i'll say well i thank you for that report. ok well this is live from moscow and over one hundred of those injured in the blast remain in hospitals across the russian capital peter all of a who's not one of them has more details for us. about half of those people still receiving treatment already a condition described as either a serious or critical by medical staff here at the hospitals president medvedev is on site here at the city center hospital where i am sure a few hours ago to see firsthand the medical response to those who are still in hospital receiving treatment now also prime minister vladimir putin be visiting hospitals around the city to see those who have been injured in these this explosion now in these role as prime minister that comes under its remit of

domestic duties to to make sure that the hospitals are looking after these people who are being caught up in this explosion to make sure that they have the right amount of supplies that they act adequate facilities adequate space in order to make sure that medical staff can give the best possible care to those people who are injured the prime minister vladimir putin has been reassured that all of the required hospital beds and doctors and nurses and most importantly medical. medicines and and surgery teams have been of aid available in order to deal with this that we can hear from some of those people who witnessed this explosion and saw the all full injuries that were meted out by the blast the blast threw me three meters back when 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 up at first i thought i had a wound on my head but it turned out i just had someone else's blood on me i

suppose people covered in blood with injured limbs and the ones their faces were covered with blood to someone conscious 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. and. who were leaving the airport when we had the explosion when we were leaving the luggage claim area there was something in the air in there was smoke our friends were calling us saying that there was an explosion and there were victims. the bomb was not in the baggage sheria but tried behind the doors in the crowd of people welcoming us in the airport now this blast of course took place at the international arrivals at the end of the airport not just russian nationals caught up in this tragedy those currently receiving treatment. british people germans it is. people as well as people from ukraine gary so they are all caught up a really international tragedy this explosion taking place at the airport and

medical stuff here in moscow have been appealing for people to come forward and donate blood unfortunately has been that request has been carried out many people coming to donate blood of course a very crucial a key tool for people the doctors as they come to try and treat these people who are suffering from severe burns and terrible injuries inflicted by shrapnel doctors are being telling us blood very important and it's good to hear that they're receiving that. they're reporting from outside one of the central hospitals here in moscow this dealing with some of the victims of yesterday's blast now fred we're moscow bureau chief of the christian science monitor newspaper he believes that terrorists have been studying security weak points transport system. well we know that domodedovo is the gateway 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 they select these places for maximum impact and i know since i went through the 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 and and they had all these problems i'm sure introduced me to him made them speed up made them perhaps more careless it's. almost time poll last month an investigative journalist based in london says it's not only domodedovo airport but any big transport hub that is vulnerable to such an attack.

the awful truth is is that there is no way to stalk terrorists in any capital. basis you have to there are certain things you have to do this especially after a time you can all say oh well it's over and done with there's not going to be another but we've seen before the terrorists are quite good sort of said to mourn explosion and then one sure we all of the words even sometimes it's deliberate but in the case of. back in two thousand and five people who fled from the ground station. or not so you really got to get very touched here to meet. but ultimately it's very very hard to protect all transport in the capital city i think. and we'll be bringing you more from moscow's domodedovo airport throughout the day here one r.t. and you can get all the details about the blast on our website that's r.t. dot com get the latest video the eyewitness reports expert opinion and much more

available for you online at ati dot com. now because of the attack president medvedev delayed his appearance at the world economic forum in switzerland where 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 korean action extremism has international roots in a few moments we'll get a report from laura member for now we can cross to live pictures of the members of the united nations in new york they are standing and having a moment of silence a minute of silence in remembrance of yesterday's terrorist blast that's that's about this very moment.

obviously not just moscow not just russians are mourning the deaths of thirty five people because of yesterday's attack at the doma jennifer airport that suicide blast there but the entire international community right there showing a minute of silence at the united nations in new york that will live pictures right here on our let's get back to our main story here about the domodedovo blast and the fact that because of the blast president dmitri medvedev decided to delay his

his trip to davos in switzerland for the world economic forum he was supposed to be there to make the opening speech and will not cross over to aussie's lower emmet who has the story on this. 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 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 worlds towards terror attacks in russia. 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 that could 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 insurgency in the north caucasus. has connections with other careers groups in the middle east in other parts of the world there are courses for it local in the this is my view part of march wider international. and that was a picture my israeli 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 expect more messages of consoling condolences. solidarity from neda's around the world. reporting that now the terrifying blast domodedovo airport along with other recent terrorist attacks in the russian capital have left many asking if the fight against terrorism can be won you can share your opinions on the issue through our online poll that on the dot com let's check out the results right now as they stand sixty percent of you are still pessimistic suggesting that victory over terrorism is a pipe dream of desperate optimists forty percent of you that's compared to a third in the previous hour believe it terrorism can be defeated if enough effort is applied those are the results so far but you can still have your say just log on to r.t. dot com and put in your opinion there on the poll on terrorism. well russians are lower house of parliament has ratified the new russia u.s.

strategic arms reduction treaty the debate over the deal ended on tuesday with russia's having made its own amendments. going off who's been outside the stadium all day monitoring the hearings on the meetings and you go to russian legislators have ratified the deal but they made some amendments to it can you enlighten us on that one of the changes. well this was the third and final reading after which the the new strategic arms reduction treaty between moscow and washington was a ratified a very old long awaited event they did make some amendments or special statements as they're called one of them secures more school rights. to step down salford city threatened by us missile defense plans in europe and the other one outlines that the amendments previously mean by the u.s. congress do not free washington the from its obligations on or non binding

just to remind you the congress made it so its own special statements one of them secured washington's right to modernize the remaining nuclear arsenal in the united states and the other one outlines that this treaty should not up struct washington's defense plans now this the new strategic arms reduction treaty is the third one the first two were signed back in one thousand nine hundred one and the name two ninety three the sweetest one is meant to reduce the number of nuclear arms on both sides by around one third so it's quite significant in terms of global safety and is also a very positive step towards closer ties between russia and the united states you go to i am i'm running a long time here tell me what the next step now and how. well the treaty actually be implemented. well according to the still procedure after the treaty has been

ratified by the state duma it's now going to be reviewed by the upper house of twelve of the federation council and then signed by president dmitry medvedev but judging by the situation and judging by what russia's political elite has been saying all along and all along and in general everybody is supporting this treaty and supporting. the moving towards each other in the relationship with the washington judging by all that i think these will just be formalities and so the implementation of the treaty will have no obstacles so this is great news for the relations between russia and the united states definitely so i think it means all around parties that you got this going to reporting from outside the state duma here in moscow thanks for the findings of an explosive report by a swiss human rights investigator dick marty into alleged organ trafficking and kosovo is being debated by the council of europe the report accuses the cars of own

liberation army of killing serbian prisoners and selling their organs on the black market back in two thousand as artie's reports with the grim details emerging serves on the international community at the mounting on says 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 blood of its mine and that was it i never saw him again because so many serbs are still missing now after twelve years i've lost who. after the cost of a war over two thousand people went missing and over a decade later are still unaccounted for but a grim reaper 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 were 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 of organ trafficking it was styled as a makeshift operating clinic and it was the site at which some of the captives held by the 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 in. the course of a liberation army have these accounts in swiss and german banks and they are suspected of using them for the profits from illegal trafficking this isn't some alleged humanitarian organization open 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 willingness 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 curiously guarding their reputation is what swiss banks are famous for and 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 the r.t.e. switzerland for them for more on his report on organ trafficking and cause if i were the council of europe we're now joined by now a washington based journalist and historian pressurizes in the balkans i have

a mr mallock so what are your expectations are from today's vote at the council of europe anything anything solid to come from it. i don't expect anything solid it is definitely going to be a test of their commitment and seriousness mr marty report is damning it is very serious it has already caused a lot of consternation and it has already exposed a lot of dirty laundry the cording to the report itself the western intelligence services have been trying to cover up for almost an over a decade now so i think it's going to be a very serious issue but there's a definite lack of political will in western europe especially to approach this with any sort of intent to to resolve if they delve into this state will have to err exactly who they've been supporting all these years so you're saying that there appears to be a lack of political will in western europe when it when it comes to the findings here but some people i suppose in the same vein some people are seeking to diminish the importance of this report you think they can achieve. well they will certainly

try we'll have to see and wait and see what happens but and how much of an opposition they're going to encounter i know that the. nato and e.u. representatives in kosovo itself are saying oh well you know we will we'll need to see the evidence only if we can give us lists of witnesses will make sure that they are appropriately dealt with. i think there's also an issue of everybody trying to pretend that this is business as usual nothing to see here move along and even if they acknowledge the report they are still trying to make it so that it doesn't really impact onto the. what they term it legitimacy of the of the government and the state so-called of kosovo which. unfortunately for the people involved the are really. very closely intertwined without the k.l.a. this none of this would have happened in the k.l.a. before it was a terrorist separatist organization was an organized crime syndicate so really it

just goes to the very root of the problem right now there's been quite a lot of evidence and corruption and sort of corruption and crime and cause if i want you to think the european union will perhaps reconsider its policies towards cause of and perhaps take a hard line here because you're saying that western european politicians are going to be fairly reluctant to acknowledge the findings. how often do politicians acknowledge their mistakes i mean my experience and observation never it really takes a change of government for even a pretext. of a change in policy the people that are currently in power in western europe are already heavily invested in the current state of affairs and i honestly don't think they will risk any damage their own political capital they might throw touchy under a bus as an inconvenience but they don't think they're very likely to abandon their policy of supporting an independent state of kosovo regardless of what some people in serbia and elsewhere may think obviously this is something to hope for and this

is something that in a normal world we would expect to see but i think the events of the past twenty years in the balkans have shown that we don't necessarily live in the most noble of universes. or should knowledge of washington based journalist and historian live from washington d.c. thank you. now time for the business news with dmitri. i. welcome to the program the markets and reactants calmly to the bombing of them a bit of port equities of staged a recovery since the initial sell off when the news broke on monday afternoon now david caused by old chief economist at bank says the incident will have long term impact on russia's investment climate. empirical test of the church showing that. we usually see a recovery in the stock markets between one and five days after. as happened i

think the same will be the case here no obvious reasons to expect that it will have any lasting impact on the russian investment climate or risk premium for that. obviously russian airliners might be hit. and that might take some time for them but i don't see any you should have any impact on the cash flows anywhere else and therefore also not on the i will go for the stocks or the stock market in russia. for a better understanding of the reaction on the markets is take a look at the figures going to be my six in the year two years as you can see their point five point three percent some stocks are coming under pressure from falling oil prices that's up to saudi arabia hinted it may raise crude output to satisfy rising demand. more details on the stocks now as burbank shares are up almost two percent there after the country's top lender saw twenty percent profit right by gold and russian accounting standards wherever d.t.b.

is up half a percent after reporting for fall in principle that's also a yes the oil continues to go down despite that russian balls are trying to push up energy stocks as you see there quite successful in doing so with the local stocks up one point two percent in europe u.k. as for to go slip into the red although it's almost completely recovered after data showed an expected contraction in the u.k. economy in the fourth quarter of last year siemens however is up after its results came in stronger than expected. and russia is resuming oil supplies to better research the first time since the beginning of the year as the parties finally settle the longstanding disagreement over prices under the newly signed contract well resold. an extra forty six dollars per ton of crude in return is receiving concessions on world duties and. russia's g.d.p. will grow faster than the global economy this year that's according to the

international monetary fund now the i.m.f. expects the country's economy to expand four point five percent slightly more than the previous forecast and global economic growth is expected to be four point four percent that's with europe's debt crisis remaining the prime concern. so often i'll be back in one hour's time with an update rory is next with the headlines after this little break.
