terrorists should be identified and brought to justice and their hideout should be exterminated president says a decisive action against those behind a terror attack at moscow's busiest airport management is now facing a criminal investigation over the lack of security with the suicide bomber to kill thirty five. house of parliament approved. after months of discussion. of organ trafficking and scrutinized by europe's top human rights watchdog. after the alleged crimes committed.

with moscow welcome to the program the management. board is facing a criminal investigation after a suicide bomber was able to carry out a devastating attack there on monday president dmitri medvedev said it was poor attention to security which led to the blast of the country's biggest 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. metro system last march over one hundred people caught up in the airport blast being treated in hospitals across the capital. has more now. but 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 president 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 on the spot national more 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 hideout of those bandits should be exterminated as usual we should deal unceremoniously with those who resist they should be killed on the spot prime minister putin followed this comment up with a kind of his own equally strongly worded that it's acting as sort of an reassurance that this investigation will indeed six easy said it was inevitable

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 apparent cruel and senseless crimes committed at domodedovo airport many people were killed and many injured 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. there 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 in their forty's have found that they've concluded there was a suicide bomber carrying five kilograms worth of explosives. and going into the airports the area where the explosion happened the arrivals area where people wait

to meet people off for international arrivals fresh out of baggage reclaim going in a yes they would not have had any and their authority is 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 misfit here today saying that. the airport authorities are responsible and so they don't want are saying that at all they have many allowed us to film inside the building either. and i bet it's report there brought to a premature end by a guard at the airport he put his gloved hand in front of the lens obviously the airport is still operating at a heightened level of security and later i'll be talking to an eyewitness who was caught up in the blast at them with yet of a he'll be sharing his experiences exclusively here on r.t. . well over one hundred of those injured in the blast remain in hospitals across the russian capital pete all of a who's out one of them has details on this. about half of those people still

receiving treatment already condition described as either serious or critical by medical staff here at the hospital's 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 at 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. 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 now 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 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 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 reisa people covered in blood with injured limbs and ones their faces were covered with blood to someone conscious there was a feeling that something be 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 the building. 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 and not just russian nationals caught up in this tragedy those currently receiving treatment. british people germans heard it is done people as well as people from ukraine garia so they are all caught up a really international tragedy this explosion taking place at the airport and medical staff 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 but 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 have been telling us blood very important and it's good to hear that they're receiving that. it is pretty for all of our reporting now staying with the story of

the moscow airport attack i'm now joined by security expert magnus ranstorp who is from the swedish national defense college so it's it's being said that this was the airports lax security to blame and that's what allowed this bombing to happen is it really as simple as that what's what's your take. why i think there are it may be too simplistic to argue that the security was was to some extent because it happened in an area that was not inside the security cordon and therefore it was very relatively easy to go into that but of course there have been reports that the security service had received reports that there was a warning to this effect so on the one hand it's a very soft target it's a high priority target as well for for terrorists because it is the main hub of course the k'nex russia with with the rest of the world and so i think that

it is it is interesting that there were warnings beforehand and whether they are true or not we have to see what on the other hand it's a very difficult to secure entirely of course there are possibly some misses by the security services but it's very difficult to protect as you're saying there were allegations that there were warnings in place in advance of this attack at domodedovo airport that took place yesterday but the big transport hubs in capitals are always a target for such attacks i know it's a difficult issue to get around but how can future atrocities such as such as these and in public areas how can they be averted. well i think that there has been a lot of discussion not just in russia but also elsewhere that security is becoming too predictable that the x. ray machines are not very effective i mean i've flown myself in central asia and first of all there is a degree of motivating the staff that's very easy to get through and into russia's airport so there's a there's

a loophole there that needs to be tightened also you can harden the target for example you've seen in glasgow scotland an attack by vehicle. driving into to the terminal of course we can tell you can you can build barriers so that vehicles can't round but of course possibly one of the more innovative ways is of course to sport behavior to have monitoring behavior that's taking place for example at heathrow airport by the british aviation authority so there are ways in which you can better perhaps create a level of uncertainty for whoever may do this and perhaps need to early intervention but of course we have to remember that that they're likely perpetrator was carrying the bomb in a suitcase and or in a bag and how do you how do you spot how do you see that kind of behavior if you don't have advance when you when you talk about the perpetrator in question here the thinker of blame is pointing to certain areas you know russia has got a history with terrorists from the north caucasus now it's not confirmed that

yesterday's attack was carried out by a terrorist from the north caucuses but it seems to be on everybody's lips what's your opinion here. i mean if you look at the catalogue of violence that is occurring on a daily basis in dagestan you will see that there or it was for of course from there the suicide bomber against the the metro in russia originated from and therefore there is you know strong signals that you know that this is the remnants this is the islamic called the emirates the group which are ramadan sort of chechen . terrorists as well as from dagestan and yes. and i think there is sort of a strong likelihood that it comes from that direction and i think you know given the level of attack even the modus of attack i think that is probably one of the more likely directions they're looking at now when it comes to terrorism as

a whole whether it's in the middle east or in indonesia for example or here in russia do you think after yesterday yesterday's attack perhaps the world may have may have woken up to you tube you see that as many say that terrorism is a global fight it's worldwide that yesterday's attack for example is not just some isolated internal domestic event. no i mean definitely i think i mean russia has had over. the last fifteen years have had about forty different terrorist attacks and they haven't been small attacks either and i think yes there needs to be more attention to this issue there are terrible atrocities and i think this is also a time to forge closer cooperation for example between russia and other countries it relation to intelligence exchange in relation to working together to try to not only deal with the tactical intelligence issues but also to try to find ways to mediate some of these conflicts to lead to to to go terrorism being

a symptom of problems now it's been it's been less than a year since the march metro bombings here in moscow despite the fact when those bombings occurred the russians here the muscovite still continued about their day to day lives they still got on the other metro stations other buses they went to work now after yesterday's attack at the airport do you think do you think the fear factor on the part of the terrorists you think it really works. no i don't think it works i think that people also get resilient they get angry they get outraged at the same time i think that you know there are some issues that are a bit more problematic in this issue you have the. two thousand and fourteen winter olympics and i think to get the security in order there for this is much more perhaps more important because it may have an impact internationally as to the security of the games but i think in terms of russian people i think that these are like events or like rollercoasters you know there are high degree of emotions

initially and i think you know what has to also because of a sense of the fact that the whole brushing of authorities on the one hand deal find the perpetrators and mete out justice but the same time also try to minimize the polarization within russian society but peculiarly feelings from people from the caucasus or central asia who are working in it in moscow there are tensions there between super nationalists as well as some of these immigrant groups all right magnus ranstorp from the swedish national defense college life for us in stockholm thank you very much. all right now sarah ferguson caught up with two british passengers who found themselves at the center of a scene of bloody devastation just minutes after landing in moscow. let's cross. over to you now. now by key people he witnessed that explain the data that will yesterday markings even jack thank you very much for joining us now on

the stage just yesterday this happened still a viable memory i'd imagine can you tell us what you do remember about that situation. here. we passed through the immigration and customs we were passing through the area where we left off by where a driver where they're letting our bags into the back of the vehicle just waiting for certain there was a huge noise to happen then we looked at each other about what it was and steven said the car bomb or something on. which point it which part of the snow came off of the terminal building sort of his biggest worry. much about forty five seconds after people came running out of the building of the distressed company wants to. prefer to leave the least seen images from the c.c.t.v. it takes place to really carry it bodies in the back you had just how much of that to be and we didn't really see any of the sort of fatalities if you like but what we did see were still walking wounded we were coming out of the terminal at the

time just after the blast. we were off the water to a number of people who came out and one guy was pretty funny and just blood on his face his hands and. he was usually pretty far away i was feeling amongst people that you think i want to. see you when you heard these kids what. kind of people coming out on the stump. for sure. here's what. so. in terms of that there were people coming out some so were screaming but it was mostly people are pretty sure i think they're just like us didn't you realize we've . seen some of the car explosion a car bomb we're saying our car we're must get gas explosion in the terminal is on this thing a lot of people are still not sure what actually happened and healthy enough it

happened that you find out the house that was going on we kind of you trying i think the company executives have. been just. six months or so. to one can assume therefore. it wasn't some sort of drawing some attention. toward the real. story about this and we've had one at the british national you know leave behind a baby he's going to get married i mean you can't even begin to imagine what his family feeling how did your family be at when they found out that he was in that situation. so if i may. i made the necessary cause to family and to the office because the last thing i think you want to have is we're going to be bringing you especially if you're on the phone to somebody else and there's no answer from your phone call for him from the phone so we made

a purposeful point of calling as many people were going to happen so quickly we were. so we kind of. preempted their calls to us because literally room for within a couple minutes saying this is happening because. we're ok as people here so of course the new room for a change of flights arriving. here. if it was at peak travel time if that is a lot of flights having it just how busy it was and i mean well this is that business you stayed pretty good with business. monday. single business be returning to travel but actually yes things are. pretty. peaceful as you can see. there was what was unusual our streets more. if i could stop trying so hard to be taken off the car so much as recording future

we'll see some parts of our song by a song which sounds like it's a warning. or some sort of made for a new foster country apart. we're supposed to turn around. and let you guys get involved in this is terrible it's happening. i think we're quite positive about . the attitude we kind of look at it i think i suspect first part of it here but we're kind of looking the cost very much off or we consider ourselves lucky or not pretty both in the more serious degree as opposed to the attitude of being unlucky to be. here two minutes earlier we might have been stuck here on the street we could be in hospital. charges and some of the people i think were kind of of the attitude that. we could have been a whole lot worse than it is for us personally albeit it was terrible for the people at city hall in the aftermath of the attack obviously the bulls now with the

friends family relatives if they came and killed the interstate in that last investigation continuing now to finances all they study think that kate what happened at the airport yesterday i'm. sorry certainly a close shave for those two british passengers that thank you to all three of you for for you want to thank you. and i will be bringing you more from moscow airport in the hours ahead here on r.t. and you can always get all the details about the blast on our website that's already dot com you'll find all the latest video the eyewitness reports expert opinion and of much more available for you at.

parliament has ratified the new russia u.s. strategic arms reduction treaty the debate over the deal ended on tuesday with russia having made its own amendments. has miles. the new strategic arms reduction treaty between moscow and washington was a ratified a very long awaited a very and they did make some amendments or special state rooms as they're called one of them is moscow right. to step out of the chute. granted 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 here obligations in our non binding just to remind you the congress made it so its own special statements one of them secured washington's rights to modernize the remaining nuclear arsenal in the

united states and the other one outlines that this treaty should not obstruct 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 t. ninety three this latest one his mentor to reduce the number of nuclear arms on both sides by around one thirty 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 according to these procedure after the treaty has been ratified by the state duma is now going to be reviewed by the upper house of qualms of the federation council and then signed by president reagan immediately but judging by the situation and judging by what russia's political elite has been saying all along and in general everybody is supporting this treaty and judging by all that just the formalities

and to the implementation of the treaty will have no obstacles. if you go to this kind of reporting now the findings of an explosive report by a source human rights investigator dick marty into alleged organ trafficking in kosovo is now being debated by the council of europe the reporter cuse is the cause of our liberation army of killing serbian prisoners and selling their organs on the black market back in two thousand and is also used to win us out of our reports with the grim details emerging serbs on the international community are demanding answers without a trace that's how the silence brother disappeared along with thousands of other people. he went to work as usual with his friends to the births of it's 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 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 hussian 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 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 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 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 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. switzerland. are not in meters here with the latest business news. right the end of the trading session here in russia in the markets in russia reactors carmelita the bombing of the madrid of airport equities are barely changed at the close of tuesday's session after an initial slight selloff when the news broke on monday afternoon now david carr's ball chief economist at saxo bank says the incident will have little long term impact on russia's investment climate. empirical test of a chiro check so 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 the obvious reasons to expect that they will have been interesting impact on the russian investment climate or risk. for the sake of usually russian airliners might be hit. and that might take some time for

them but i don't see it is 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. so you are markets now in the u.s. the markets are lower after disappointing results from johnson and johnson and riyadh however consumer confidence climbed to an eight month like in january on increasing optimism on jobs and that's limiting losses so far. in europe we're seeing black it's a mixed picture right now but the slipped into the red once again after data showed an unexpected contraction in the u.k. economy and we also of last year siemens however is up two point eight percent after this was also came in stronger than expected in russia the r.t.s. in the my stocks went for correction in the final minutes of trading here in moscow after spending most of the session in the black well that appears to be dated

figures are actually some stocks coming in under pressure from the falling oil price that's after saudi arabia hinted it may raise crude output to satisfy rising demand. secular closing values for some of the stocks and yes this burbank is actually up in the end of this session of around one in the office said these are wrong thing is i'm afraid to say the top lender saw twenty ten profit rise five fold in the russian accounting standards bt being finished at the session slightly down point three percent yet again this week is. correct a four fold increase in profits and the world continued to go down despite that russian bulls were trying to push up energy stocks lukoil was actually up just slightly around half a percent at the end of the session. seems that global markets today are reversing with pretty ugly data from the from the u.k. they missed the g.d.p. numbers and with for example all the news out of l.a.

nice raising the margin on trading in london. and then certainty in china potentially raising rates pretty soon so the russian market basically was sold off from the morning peak. rush is resuming oil supply stability for the first time since the beginning of the year the politics finally settled a longstanding disagreement over prices under the merely signed contracts pay an extra forty six dollars per tonne of crude and returns receiving concessions on oil duties from russia that's all we have time for we'll be back in one i was to see that.
