she did the. terrorists should be identified and brought to justice and there should be exterminated. promises decisive action against those behind a terror attack at moscow's busiest airport its management is now facing a criminal investigation over the lack of security which enabled the suicide bomber to kill thirty five. but over a hundred of those injured remain in hospitals around the russian capital fifteen of them are foreign citizens are in a critical condition. so according to the parliament to moscow approves the russian u.s. strategic arms reduction treaty months of discussion and amendments. and europe's top human rights watchdog adopts a report on organ trafficking more than ten years after the alleged crimes were

committed. with news from russia and around the world this is r.t. here in moscow good to have you with us this hour the management at russia's domodedovo airport is facing a criminal investigation after a suicide bomber was able to carry out a devastating attack there on monday person dimitri medvedev says it was poor attention to security which led to the blast at the country's biggest airport the suspected suicide bomber it killed thirty five people on the left around one hundred eighty injured explosion which took place in the international arrivals area is russia's worst terrorist atrocities since twin bombings rocked moscow's metro system last march over one hundred people caught up in the airport blast are being treated in hospitals across the capital let's find out the latest now from marty's. in this hospitals and also other bennett's who's at domodedovo airport her

first year over the country's leadership gave a strong worded response to this tragedy and they. certainly have both well neither president nor prime minister mince their words today both president medvedev and prime minister putin issued extremely strongly worded statements in relation to the perpetrators of the attack showing that they're taking the investigation by the scruff of the neck first of all present their view they've said that the primary aim now obviously is a catch those responsible for the attack and bring them to justice should they resist he said they will be killed on the spot even eliminated. 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 should be killed on the spot is the. following that prime minister putin issued are equally strongly worded statements and powerful rhetoric of his own assuring the russian people that is the investigation will indeed be successful and inevitably the perpetrators of this attack will be brought to justice and punished accordingly. to the moment of florence cruel and senseless crimes committed at dawn we did have an adult many people killed as many injured to do not have any doubt that the crime will be uncovered retaliation will be inevitable the task of the government now is to provide support for the families of those killed and injured. and terms of who's to blame for allowing this attack to happen earlier today present navy had it pointed the finger squarely and firmly in the direction of the forties themselves here at

domodedovo airport he said. there were clearly some security breaches in allowing a suicide bomber with five kilograms of explosives and a device packed with metal shards in allowing him to enter the building in the first place we know the explosion took place in the waiting area just the other side of the exit. from the international arrivals baggage reclaim so anyone entering that area yes they wouldn't have had to go through any security there are no x. ray bags for baggage checks or machines or no and certainly no metal detectors either so he's saying that is clearly the airport or forty's fault for not having the necessary to curacy in place now inside the airport now things are pretty much back to normal obviously but heightened security in the atmosphere here is very tense indeed so much so in fact that earlier when we were doing a live broadcast just three hours ago a security official came over to us and forced us to stop by putting his hand over the lens of the camera and blocking it out and forcing us to stop and inside the

airport forensics teams are still working the area this cordoned off working the crime scene and they still haven't actually identified the suicide bomber but they're trying to from the remains that they've collected there at the crime scene and also we've heard reports from the authorities they're trying to track down possible accomplices to the suicide bomber they suspect he was dropped off at the airport by three men and they say they're trying to find out who those three men are now finally at the airport there is a makeshift memorial that's been erected here for people laying flowers red carnations in memory of the victims of this crime and the attacks that claimed the lives of thirty five people injuring one hundred eighty with over one hundred ten still in hospital and tomorrow present here has assigned that as a day of mourning in moscow and moscow region. thanks very much indeed for that and i've mentioned those in hospital let's now cross over to peter oliver peter you're there at one of those hospitals there in the russian capital what's the latest on

those who are being treated currently. well of the one hundred eighty there were injured in monday's blast one hundred nine eleven was leave to be still in hospitals throughout most go in the moscow region now nearly half of those is said to be in what's described as a critical all serious condition by doctors now we were able to speak to some doctors earlier and they were describing the kind of injuries that people are in hospital receiving treatment for deficit via burns you just heard either mention the explosive device contained metal fragments that were placed inside a plastic explosive and seen some horrendous shrapnel injuries now that is called some terrific terrific to terrible wounds to the people who were in the vicinity of that blast what it when it went off now president dmitri medvedev has been to visit the hospital where i am in central moscow today to see for himself firsthand what is being done to help people who were injured in this explosion also prime minister

vladimir putin has been visiting hospitals elsewhere in his role as prime minister it comes under his remit to make sure that the hospitals all running up to scratch and making sure that they they able to have the right amount of space the right amount of medical equipment of doctors of nurses of medicines to make sure that they can treat everybody he's been from the people he's met and talked to he seems happy that russia able in moscow is able to deal with the people who are still receiving treatment in russian when moscow's hospitals full of the these terrible wounds this a severe burns and shrapnel injuries we can now hear from some of the people who are in moscow's hospitals at the moment. michael to the airport i was waiting for someone who then there was an explosion there was a lot of people i couldn't see the bomber my friend helped out it was a lot of smoke. i went to the airport with my mother in law. relative but then the

bomb went off and after some confusion i eventually found my relatives but i still don't know what happened to my mother in law. they are not muslims they are. real muslims kill people they don't kill people if they could have lost my brother and i didn't even do anything to them i want them to be punished. great courage seen by those people who have suffered at the hands of this suicide blast in moscow the toll through the international arrivals day the international arrivals. poor causing terrible damage killing thirty five people on monday. all right thanks very much indeed. outside one of moscow's hospitals and also. well sarah ferguson caught up with two british passengers who pass through the arrivals hall a matter of minutes before the blast and she talked to them about what they saw. we

passed through the immigration customs we were passing through the area where we left off by where a driver with unloading our bags into the back of it with us waiting for us and there was a huge noise to happen and we looked at each other what it was steven said process the car bomb or something on. which point it which point all the snow came off of the terminal building sort of his biggest port side looks at right forty five seconds after people came running out of the building of that distressed company right so you can imagine. but what we did see was the open window of the world coming out of the term of the time just after the blast. we we off the water to a number of people it came out and one guy was particularly badly injured blood on his face in his hands he said since he was was in a pretty bad way i think he would be up for these kids quite sure quite.

right so it's kind of coming out kind of stuff right now for sure. tragic stories come out at this hour we've had one at the pictures national he's killed me kind of baby he's going to get night i mean you can't even begin to see and i tell him that family feeling how did your family react when they found out that he let himself in that situation. so if i may. i made the necessary caused the family into the office because the last thing i think you want to have is we're going to be bringing you especially if you want to find somebody else and there's no answer from your phone call for him from the fine so we made a purposeful point of calling us many people is going to happen so quickly we react . so we kind of p.p.m. to their calls to us because literally room for within a couple minutes saying this is happening we could hear brocades people there because of course when you were on the bridge there was

a flight arriving soon return appearance on. the deadly blast at moscow's main airport has sparked international condemnation and once again drawing the world's attention to the problem of global terrorism well earlier i spoke to russia's ambassador to the un vitaly churkin and asked him for his view on the situation. what were felt and seen here in the united nations is an overwhelming expression of condolences sympathy and support to russia after this terrorist attack at the airport the secretary general of the united nations made a statement condemning this attack a statement was made by the president of the security council on behalf of all members of the security council and today before the official meeting of the security council there was a minute of silence to commemorate the victims of the terrorist attack in the idea that were reported in general twenty four and some colleagues point out that this time the target of the terrorists was an international airport and that there are

foreign foreigners among the victims so in their mind even firmer establishes the context it. clearly shows that the terrorist manifestations in russia are report of the general challenge of international terrorism in the security council we have a special mechanism the terrorist committee of the security council to ensure that it is also able to look in the context of this particular terrorist attacks and see what it can do in order to. help fight and eradicate terrorism but also there are various international of international channels of cooperation so i can assure you that russia is not alone at all in collecting information and tracking down terrorists i'm certain that given this outpouring of support i've been talking about here in the united nations will see the same in the context of the latest

attack of the idea the international airport so it is something which is seen as a broad international challenge not the particularly. isolated as a sort of a russian phenomenon because of the track record of terrorists attacking anywhere. they can put together this kind of attack and planning as a broad international network so i don't see this latest tragedy as something which reflects on the russian reputation i'm sure that life will go back to normal seven one saying i think we in the international community have to remember is that we should not be deterred by those terrorist attacks from conducting business as usual from conducting life as usual i think this is the prevailing sentiment here in the united nations along with the outrage over what has happened or what the terrorists have done the idea the airport between a chicken who was talking to

a little earlier well we'll be bringing you more from moscow's domodedovo airport in the hours ahead here on r.t. and you can get all the details about the blast on our web site that's dot com all the latest video eyewitness reports expert opinion and much more it's available for that online at r.t. dot com. other news now russia's 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 having added on its interpretations when i spoke to r.t. eagle piece going off in moscow and artie's going to church in washington. you go first to you russian legislators have ratified the deal but made some amendments to

it so can you tell us what all of those amendments. well first of all they're not exactly amendments they're called special statements because they will not affect the actual implementation of the treaty itself the first one is ensuring moscow's right off the deal if it feels threatened by u.s. defense plans in europe and the second one. similar statements previously by the us congress do not free you washington from its obligation this is the third such treaty between russia and the united states the first two were signs from back in one thousand nine hundred. ninety three you know that it's been ratified by the state duma according to the procedure and it will have to be asked to by the federation council and then signed by the president since the leaders of both countries supported this deal it's highly unlikely that there will be any problems

with its implementation here in russia the treaty is the milestone of the us russia reset the obama administration has been working very hard to get it passed through the senate it hasn't been easy to do certain forces in congress and been stalling the process it was mostly about politics not the substance of the treaty that's where sure speaking of substance we have some very significant reductions under way of the next seven ten years both states will cut their nuclear arsenals by a third down to some fifty one hundred fifty warheads on each side the deal also limits the number of delivery vehicles and law interests but even with those codes both countries will still have more than ninety percent of the world's nuclear weapons so many agree that the value of this on reduction treaty is not just the reduction it's in the trust and cooperation that goals where that they claim the two nuclear superpowers obama's been very vocal about the fact that building cost with one. brings the united states only benefits and the new start treaty is a very important part of their trust. let's get more insight on the story no i

talked to paul ingram executive director of the british american security information council thanks very much indeed for joining us now the state duma added its own interpretations to the deal as did the u.s. so people are asking how can this possibly work if they both have different interpretations. well the interpretations from the russian duma exactly reflect but in the opposite direction. from the senate in the in the end it's the same treaty the same text and these interpretations i think both mean it sounds as if they are contradictory but they are both accurate in the sense that there is clearly a link in the preamble of the treaty between defensive and offensive forces and. russian duma is quite correct point to that link the us senate has said that there

is nothing legal preventing the americans from developing missile defense both for both the right the russians certainly have a right to withdraw from the treaty should should they deem their security to be threatened and and these are points of fact of the treaty so it's it's not that they are ratifying two separate treaties the same treaty is there and in the end i think it's quite right to say that this is the first step in a very long process of confidence building and we say yes what about the impact this will have on other countries many see this is a commendable gesture from both parties but will we see other countries follow suit and reduce their nuclear arsenals. everyone has an interest in americans and russians building down nuclear warhead so it has an impact on the rest of the world will it have an impact on other countries specifically with reducing their numbers

of warheads at this point no it can't be said that that's the case because as was said there's still a huge majority of nuclear weapons still residing within the united states and russia the next countries down have just a couple of hundred three hundred warheads at the most being france and so they're still a long way away from that number the next round of negotiations. when they get to start them i don't think is any time soon. we'll still in all likelihood remain a lock although at that stage there will also need to be some informal consideration given to members of other states i think it's more likely that other states will build down on a more unilateral basis just briefly obama has a vision to have a nuclear weapon free world do you think that really is a realistic ambition just briefly. yes it's realistic it's just that it's going to take quite a long while to get there this is

a very small first baby step in that direction ok well we'll leave it there thanks very much indeed paul ingram executive director of the british american security information council joining us there live thank you. but after a day of discussions members of the council of europe of adopted the organ trafficking report presented by this was human rights investigated dick marty council members of call for a serious inquiry into allegations that the cause of the liberation army were kidnapping serbs and selling their organs on the black market when ati's caterina's are of a has the story. 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 bullets 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 car civil 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 question touchy who are 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 trafficking it was styled as a makeshift operating clinic and it was the site 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. the cost of a liberation army have these accounts in swiss and german banks for the masses base

of using them for the profits from illegal trafficking the assumption 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 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. and the bush amount of change

washington based journalist and historian believes in reality there is a lack of political will in europe to seriously deal with the findings of the report. 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 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 resolve if they delve into this state will have to err exactly who they've been supporting all these years 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 you under a bus as an inconvenience but i don't think they're very likely to abandon their

policy of supporting an independent state of kosovo. well that brings up to date for the moment i'll be back with a recap a summary of all main news stories about six minutes from now in the meantime the next with all the latest business stay with us. for being with us here watching business tsotsi with me to the markets in russia reacted calmly to bombing of the domodedovo airport equities a badly change that the close of today's session after an initial slight selloff when the news broke on monday afternoon now david cardwell chief economist at six a bank says the incident will have

a long term impact on russia's investment climate. 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 any lasting impact on the russian investment climate or risk. obviously russian airliners might be hit. and that might take some time for them but i don't see you should have any impact on cash flows anywhere else and therefore also not on the i will go for the stocks or the stock market in russia. so let's take a look at how the stock markets are faring around the world in the u.s. the markets are lower after disappointing results from johnson and johnson and however consumer confidence climbed to an eight month high in january on the increase in optimism on jobs and that's limiting pretty much obsessional in europe

slipped into the red the data showed an unexpected contraction in the u.k. economy in the quarter of last year siemens was up one point three percent after these results came in stronger than expected and the dax was trading positively pretty much all session long went into the red obviously my stocks went for a correction in the final minutes of trading here in moscow after spending most of the session in the black some stocks coming under pressure from the oil price that's after saudi arabia and that it may raise crude output to satisfy rising demand for these are all stocks now as burbank shares were up almost two percent at the close of the my sex out of the country's top lead the sort of profit rise by old and russian accounting standards not the rest of the computer but bt be finished in the red as the second largest bag after recent gains helped by reports about a goofball increase in profits that didn't help as you can see that down point three percent will continue to go down in the spike that russian balls were trying to

push up energy stocks quite successful with lukoil stock point. it. seems that global markets today are reversing with pretty good 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. meese raising the marginal metals trading in london here to the metals and with how the uncertainty in china potentially raising the rates pretty soon so the russian market basically was sold off from the morning peak. finally russia is resuming world supply stability for the first time since the beginning of the year now the parties finally settled the longstanding disagreement over prices under the newly signed contract that we will pay an extra forty six dollars per ton of crude in return it's receiving concessions on oil from russia. and that's your business update for now join me and one more in the one hour's time.

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. undergo merica recognized it's difficult. question to see if cuba managed to cope with its

victory all don't talk the all politics god hates i leave you think you are you go but the rajab either live via the cuban missile crisis games and reality t.v. . in russia would be soon which brightened if you knew about some move from funds to impression it's.
