terrorists should be. brought to justice and their hideout should be exterminated. its management is now facing a criminal investigation. to kill thirty five. and over one hundred. fifty.

europe's top human rights watch a report trafficking in more than ten years after the alleged crimes committed. with news from russia and around the world this is. 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 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 atrocities since twin bombings rocked metro system last march and one hundred people caught up in the blast are being treated in hospitals

across the capital well earlier i spoke to correspondents. at one of those hospitals and other planets. neither prison 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 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. national. 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 following that prime minister putin issued a equally strongly worded statement some powerful rhetoric of his own assuring the russian people that this investigation will indeed be successful and inevitably the perpetrators of this attack will be brought to justice and punished accordingly with a moment of borland's cruel and senseless crimes committed at domodedovo airport many people were killed and many injured 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. in 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 airport authorities themselves here at the or that of the airport he said that 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 sectors either so he's saying this is clearly the airport authorities 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 my. so in fact to 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 block it out and forcing us to stop the 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 they're trying to from the remains that they've collected there at the crime scene and also

if i heard a report 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 now they say they're trying to find out who those three men are now finally at the airports there is a makeshift memorial that's been arrested here for people laying flowers red carnations in memory of the victims of this crime and they attacked it claimed the lives of thirty five people injuring one hundred eighty with over one hundred ten still in hospital and tomorrow present here as a sign that as a day of mourning in moscow and moscow region. thanks very much indeed for that ivan 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 moscow in the moscow region now nearly half of those are said

to be what's described as a critical or serious condition by doctors 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 them for severe burns you just heard either mention the air in the explosive device contained metal fragments that were placed inside the plastic explosive intervenes in a horrendous shrapnel injuries now that it's caused some terrific terrific deterrable wounds to two people who were in the vicinity of the. blast what it took when it went off 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 making sure that

they be 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 we can now hear from some of the people who are in hospitals at the moment. i go to the airport i was waiting for someone and 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 to meet our relatives but then the bomb went off and after some confusion i eventually found my relative but i still don't know what happened to my mother in law. they are not muslims they are animals real muslims help people they don't kill people 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 the international arrivals part of. the airport causing terrible damage killing thirty five people on monday. hospital in moscow and before that we have from bennett at domodedovo airport welty sarah ferguson to british passengers who pass through the arrivals hall a matter of minutes before the blast. we passed through the immigration customs we were crossing through the area where we left off by where a driver they're letting our bags into the back of the vehicle just waiting for a certain there was a huge noise to happen then we looked at each other about what it was stephen said the car bomb or something. and which point it which point all the snow came off of the terminal building sort of says because both sides looked at her and forty five seconds after a few came running out of the building opposite to stress the complots you can imagine this refers to what we did see we're still hoping we'd get there were

coming out of the terminal at the time just after the blast. we we offered all the water to a number of people it came out and one guy was particularly badly injured in this place he's handsome since he was in a pretty bad way i think you would see her please kids like you can't sleep. so it's kind of people coming out kind of stuff. for sure. the deadly blast at moscow's main airport has sparked international condemnation and once again drawing the attention to the problem of global terrorism well earlier i spoke to russia's ambassador to the un vitaly churkin who gave me his view. well what we felt and seen here in the united nations is an overwhelming expression of condolences sympathy and support to russia after the terrorist attack of the dumb idea the airport the secretary general of the united nations made a statement condemning this attack and some colleagues point out that the this time

the target of the terrorists was an international airport and there are foreign foreigners among the victims so in their mind it's even firmer establishes the context it more clearly shows. that there is manifestations in russia a report of the general challenge of international terrorism 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 at tacking 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 and 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 and 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 well we'll be bringing you more from moscow dominated airport in the hours ahead for you here in r.t. and you can also get all the details about the blast on our web site that's dot com well the latest video eyewitness reports expert opinion and much more is available free online at dot com.

russia's lower house of parliament has ratified the new russia u.s. strategic. choose day with russia having its own interpretations. has been following the developments here. they're called special statements because they will not affect the actual implementation of the treaty itself the first one is aimed at ensuring moscow's right. off the deal if it feels threatened by us. and the. similar statements made previously by the us congress do not free washington from its obligation this is the third such shooting between russia and the united states the first two are signs from back in one thousand nine hundred. ninety three. to reduce the number of. each side. so it's a giant step in terms of global security now that it's been ratified by

the state according to the procedure it will have to be passed by the federation council and then signed by the president. initially the leaders of both countries supported this deal it's highly unlikely that there will be any problem with this implementation of. reporting from. the latest from washington and. what's been the reaction in washington so far. well we know that president obama's told president medvedev over the phone that it was very pleased to hear the news from russia he said that he saw the ratification of the treaty as a major stab bringing the two countries closer together at a time when there are so many challenges in the world that require international cooperation of course talked about the blast at the moscow airport about being together in this fight against terror with regards to the start treaty it's seen as

a very important part of that being together basically as the milestone of the u.s. we are sure we said the wrong administration has been working very hard to get it passed through the senate it wasn't easy certain forces in congress had been stalling the process it was mostly about politics not about the substance of the treaty and it was the u.s. senate as you go has been saying passed a resolution along with the trade. that says the u. of the start treaty will not stop the united states from building a missile defense shield the russians on their part of passed a resolution that says they will comply with the with their obligations under the treaty as long as the united states respects the balance and equality that for russia is the new start treaty is all about what you know but the people must be wondering what the true significance is of this treaty. although we have some very significant reductions on the way over the next seven ten years both

countries will cut their nuclear arsenals by a third down to some fifteen hundred fifty warheads on each side they deal also limits the number of delivery vehicles on the launchers but even with those cuts both countries will still have more than ninety percent of the walls nuclear weapons so anyway that the value of this arms reduction treaty is not just the reductions it's in the trust and cooperation between the two nuclear superpower is that that comes with it obama has been very vocal about the fact that building trust with washer brings the u.s. only benefits and the new start treaty is definitely a very important part of that trust. reporting live from washington thanks very much for that well let's get more insight into this issue and talk to consider if he's also in washington he's the director of the center for control the norm proliferation despite the duma's approval of the treaty the contentious issue of the european missile defense shield is still lingering in the u.s. position is it likely to change. well i think it's important to remember that

during the negotiations of the new start treaty the u.s. and russia kept the issue of missile defense on a separate track from the issue of reductions in strategic nuclear forces so the u.s. position has long been and i think this is borne out by the actual text of the treaty that there are no meaningful limits on u.s. missile defense programs in new start and nothing that the russians are going to say will really change the u.s. position on that and i haven't seen the full final text of the duma's ratification log but i did see an earlier draft of it and as far as i can tell the provisions on missile defense that the duma inserted are much tamer than some critics here in the u.s. are making it out to be i mean they simply reiterated positions on missile defense that they stated in the unilateral statement that they issued along the new start treaty and other correspondence with the u.s. and there really isn't anything that the russians of have said that is going to

change the u.s. interpretation on missile defense but there is an air of compromise in that nato not long ago said that russia should be included in plans for and to be so defense in europe i mean did you see one day that russia could actually be part of the whole system. while obviously that is a long term goal and the obama administration has picked up negotiations to that effect that that had begun under the george w. bush administrations administration and even ministrations prior to that so the u.s. and russia and in conjunction with nato as well are trying to work together to see ways in which they can can try and safeguard themselves from the threat posed by rogue state ballistic missiles now do you think this treaty is going to last for a long time understand that to under some circumstances both countries can actually access this agreement what do you all thoughts for the longevity of this agreement . well i think the treaty will last for the entire duration as set out in the actual tax the treaty is supposed to be in force for ten years

when it does actually enter into force and the treaty is is so overwhelmingly in the national security interests of both the u.s. and russia because of the predictability transparency and stability that the provisions in the treaty are going to bring to the relationship that i see no way in which either the u.s. or russia would pull out of the treaty and just to go back for a very brief second on the missile defense issue there's been a lot of consternation among some observers that the russians have said that it's that they could withdraw from the treaty if the u.s. builds up its missile defense programs but the russians have been very clear from the beginning that the only only circumstance under which they would consider withdrawing from the treaty because of missile defense is if the missile defenses posed a threat to their strategic nuclear deterrent and the u.s. has made it abundantly clear that he has no intention or desire to threaten russia's strategic nuclear deterrent and to add to that the it will not even have

the technology to do so even if it wanted to within the actual life of the treaty just finally being from the center for rome's control of nonproliferation you must be delighted by this step but is it really realistic is abominable and clearly what you want to have without nuclear weapons on some saying this is the first step towards it but isn't that naive. well obviously as the president has made abundantly clear he doesn't think a world without nuclear weapons is something that's going to be achieved in his lifetime but there are a number of steps that we can take prior to even conceiving of a world without nuclear weapons commonsense steps that would reduce the threat posed by nuclear weapons and i think new start is a very important step in that direction now it's a very modest step both sides are still going to have at least fifteen hundred fifty deployed strategic nuclear warheads at their disposal under the treaty which is why the u.s. and russia tried to build on the momentum created by the. the signature and then ratification of new start to take even further steps to reduce the number and role

of nuclear weapons in their respective national security strategies because fifteen even fifteen hundred fifty nuclear warheads more than twenty years after the cold war is way too many things three director of nuclear nonproliferation at the center for arms control and nonproliferation there in washington thanks for your time and r.t. when what do you think of this story post your opinion on our web site. because to hear from you or of course you can take part or not only one poll where we've been asking what do you think of the signing of the treaty well let's have a look at the responses so far we can see the smallest number of you only twelve percent believe the signing of the treaty is a wise move most of you know forty four percent are convinced it's nothing more than a p.r. stunt and the rest are evenly split twenty two percent saying that on russia and the u.s. will regret the move if china or india who of course have nuclear weapons to decide to attack all that is just a way to save money well that's not what you think we could hear from. dot com.

after a day of discussions members of the council of europe of adopted the organ trafficking report presented by the swiss human rights investigator dicom r.t. investigation looks into alleged organ trafficking in kosovo and accuses the cost of the liberation army of killing serbian prisoners and selling their organs on the black market back in two thousand because of a prime minister has also been linked to the alleged atrocities council members called for prompt action demanding a serious inquiry to determine whether the findings were true well for more on dick marty's council of your report on organ trafficking there and call to join from london by marco cassidy of the british serbian alliance for peace good to have you here on r.t. the majority of the parliamentary assembly in the council of europe supported this report now did this come as a surprise to you. know that didn't because i think they simply had no choice this was a report they themselves had commissioned the council of europe and credit to them for commissioning it to beaver and its conclusions they were bound to accept with

obviously the albanian and their supporters delegations being against i think most fair minded people would have to have to see the the for this report and the necessity to continue the investigation that it's begun is not going to happen no do you think there will be a continuation of the investigation do you really think the european union is going to be interested in this bearing in mind it's a support for kosovo in the past. well the council of europe is a little bit wider than just the european union members themselves which is probably why this report has seen the light of day we should remember that the european union has really got has got a poor record in terms of establishing the truth of what of the yugoslav situation from ninety ninety one when it's a commission said that course it wasn't entitled to independence recognizing it or the majority of its members recognizing the independence of fake state. just a few a few years later so the european union has got a bad record in terms of allowing all kinds of anti serbian activities and

demonization to go on and that is indeed the problem for the european union because after all the demonization all the socialization of one sided in that civil war in that war aided and abetted from outside how do those leading lights of the e.u. go back home in their previous mistakes how can they say will they ever be prepared to say we were wrong we created a fake state based on ethnic cleansing everybody not albanian in it we gave it to national national extremists to create a gangster paradise a drug runners paradise or a place where sex slavery and organ harvesting was normal and how do they then after so sorry i find it a difficult situation for the e.u. actually so you're actually saying they turned a blind eye over the years particularly when we learned that classified nato cables leaking which relate to the guardian newspaper identifying the prime minister hesham touches one of the biggest fish an organized crime there in kosovo clearly what you're implying then is actually all about this and they turned

a blind eye on the situation. they did know about it certainly the level of their intelligence agencies probably the leading politicians close their eyes deliberately to it because of course if politicians really made it their business to find out what was going on it costs more than they would be accessories and culprits to the crimes that were going on because of all the cost or that they themselves had created but we should bear in mind that cost or as a fake splay as a so-called country was created on a supposedly moral basis there was no are the basis on which to tarry away from the rest of serbia so if as we see here is the most immoral the run constructs that has ever existed in the last hundred years then clearly the bases to terry's away from the rest of serbia has gone has been turned from an essential religious faith and christianity into a gangster's fiefdom of of the most highness an abysmal crimes that would make dr mengele a shudder so really that's the reality and that is what they've been closing their

eyes to that's what nato created and that the buck stops there very interesting here we have to say marco cassidy from the british serbian alliance for peace that's all we have time for thanks very much for joining us live here on r.t. . well there are some news just in this hour here in r.t. we're receiving reports that one person has been killed and at least nine injured after part of a roof has collapsed at a shopping mall and petersburg reports that some people could still be trapped under the day bridge ten people have already been taken out of the wreckage and it's thought that the the accident happened while snow was being cleared off the roof and emergency services are working at the scene well more on this as we get it from some pieces but that brings up to date for the moment i'll be back with a summary of our main news in about four minutes from now in the meantime business is next with dmitri. thanks very much bill the markets in russia have reacted calmly to the bombing of the madrid of airports equities are barely changed at the close of tuesday's

session after an initial slight sell off when the news broke on monday afternoon now david cardwell chief economist at saxo bank says the incident will have little long term impact on russia's investment climate. empirical test of the church xo 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 they will have any nesting 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 it is you should have any impact on the cash flows anyway also and therefore also not on the i will go for the stocks or the stock market in russia. take a look at some of the stock markets right now of course the only trading markets in the u.s. there are low off the disappointing results from johnson and johnson and three m.

and its reports however consumer confidence climbed to an eight month high in january on increasing optimism on jobs and that's limiting losses so far google is up one point one percent after announced it would hire more than six thousand two hundred workers this year and its biggest expansion plan today. then europe the footsie slipped into the red of the data showed none expected contraction in the u.k. economy in the fourth quarter of last year siemens was up however at the close one point three percent after its results came in stronger than expected in russia the us 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 ruling well price that's up to saudi arabia hinted it may raise crude but satisfied rising demand on the stocks is burbank shares were up one point eight five percent at the close in the my six of the country's top lenders saw twenty to profit rise five fold under russian accounting standards however the t.v.

finished in the red after recent gains helped by reports about a four fold increase in its profits oil continues to go down despite that russian bulls were trying to push up a new stock's quite successful with lukoil that were up a point three percent. seems the global markets today are reversing with pretty ugly data from the from the u.k. that means that you need numbers and with for example all the news out of l.a. mees raising the margin on the metals trading along. with how the uncertainty in china potentially raising rates pretty soon so the russian market basically was sold off from the morning peak. and russia is resuming oil supplies to the first time since the beginning of the year not about expanding such a long standing disagreement over prices under the newly signed contract an extra forty six dollars per ton of crude and returns receiving concessions on oil duties from russia that's all i have time for i'll be back in when i was time and see that
