4:02 pm
worse 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 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 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 is the investigation
4:03 pm
a will indeed be successful and inevitably the perpetrators of this attack will be brought to justice and punished accordingly to them and opponents cruel and senseless crimes committed at domodedovo airport many people were killed as many injured 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. in terms of who's to blame for allowing this attack to happen earlier today present heavy 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 zone anyone
4:04 pm
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 and certainly no metal detectors either so he's saying that it's 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 much so in fact just 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 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 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
4:05 pm
finally at the airport there is a makeshift memorial that's been arrested here 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 it has a sign that as a day of mourning in moscow and moscow region. thanks very much indeed for that 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 we were able to speak to some doctors earlier on 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 into teams in a horrendous shrapnel injuries now that is called some terrific terrific detail. to
4:06 pm
the people who were in the vicinity blast what it took 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 first hand 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 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 moscow's hospitals at the moment. michael to the airport i was waiting for someone then there was an explosion it 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
4:07 pm
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 real muslims help people they don't kill people they could have lost my brother and i didn't even do anything to them and 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 told through the international arrivals day the international arrivals part of. the airport causing terrible damage killing thirty five people on monday. peter all of a hospital in moscow before that we have from other bennett at domodedovo airport. when aussie sarah furthest caught up with two british passengers who pass through the arrivals hall a matter of minutes before the blast. we passed through the immigration and customs
4:08 pm
we were crossing through the area where we left off by where the driver without letting our bags into the back of it with us waiting for us and there was a huge noise to happen then we looked at each other what it was steven said her sister car bomb or something on. which point it which point all the snow came off of the terminal building surpluses because one side put it right forty five seconds after people came running out of the building of the distressed company's products and if you can imagine this very pleasant but what we did see was still talking point because they were coming out of the terminal look time just after the last. we wee off the water to a number of people it came out that one guy was particularly badly injured brought on these crazy times instead since he was theirs in a pretty bad life i think he would have got some. of these kids what should be put to sleep. so it's kind of people coming out kind of stuff. for sure.
4:09 pm
that he blasted moscow's main airport a spot international condemnation and once again drawing the welds attention to the problem of global terrorism earlier i spoke to russia's ambassador to the end of a tele check and he gave me his view. what were 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 airport the secretary general of the united nations made a statement condemning this attack 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 it even firmer establishes the context it. clearly shows. that there is manifestations in russia a report of the general challenge of international terrorism so it is something
4:10 pm
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 terror is 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 normalcy i mean one thing 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 that there is have done the idea the airport. will be bringing more from moscow airport in the hours ahead here on our team you can get all the details
4:11 pm
about the blast on a website that's r.t. dot com all the latest video i witness reports expert opinion and much more is available for you online on our web site. russia's lower house of parliament has ratified the new russia u.s. strategic arms reduction treaty the debate over the deal and on tuesday with russia having at its own interpretations well correspondents. in washington have been following the developments there called special statements because they will not affect the actual implementation of the treaty itself the first one is aimed at ensuring moscow's writes off the deal if it feels threatened by us. and
4:12 pm
europe and the second. similar statements made 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 one and one thousand nine hundred three but this latest one is meant to reduce the number of officers you go on just on each side one on one the third 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 to 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 problems with its implementation here in russia 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
4:13 pm
a major stab bringing the two countries closer together at a time when there are so many challenges in the world that we quire international cooperation of course talked about the. at the moscow airport about being together in this fight against terror with regards to the start treaty it seemed as a very important part of that being together basically as the milestone of the us 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 we have some very significant reductions underway 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 of the deal also limits the number of delivery vehicles and launchers but even with those cuts both countries will still have more than ninety percent of the walls nuclear weapons so
4:14 pm
anyway that the value of this arms reduction treaty is not just being reductions it's in the trust and cooperation between the two nuclear superpowers that that comes with it obama's 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. and they're pulling them from the british american security information council says despite some disagreements over the text of the treaty it's an important confidence building move for russia and the us 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. the russian duma is quite correct point to the u.s. senate has said that there is nothing legal preventing the americans from
4:15 pm
developing the france 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 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 said. well what do you think of the story you can post your opinion on our website it's r.t. dot com or take part in our on line poll where we've been asking what do you think of the signing of this treaty and here are the results on the screen freeze so far the smallest number of the only twelve percent believe the signing of the treaty is a wise move mostly though that's forty four percent convinced it's nothing more than a p.r. stunt and the rest are even nice as we can see twenty two percent saying that either russia and the u.s. will regret it the move of china or india who of course have nuclear weapons
4:16 pm
decide to attack or that is just a way to save money for the remaining twenty percent well let us know what you think cast your vote at r.t. 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 investigated the multi council members of call for a serious inquiry into allegations that the kosovo liberation army were kidnapping serbs and setting that organs on the black market of his country as are of a has a story 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 my god the 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
4:17 pm
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 question touchy or involved in kidnapping serbs and selling their organs on the black market there was at least one custom built element to the post conflict network of detention facilities which was unique in appearance and purpose it constituted a state of the art reception sense for the organized crime traffic and it was styled as a makeshift operating clinic and it was the site at which some of the captives held by the k.o.a. members and affiliates had moved against their will finding living victims of these crimes may be near impossible but dick marty's group found the next best thing the money trail in. the course of a liberation army have these accounts in swiss and german banks and they are
4:18 pm
suspected of using them for the profits from illegal trafficking this substance 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
4:19 pm
being planned out. cash as are. switzerland. marco get it from the british alliance for peace thinks despite the criticism the e.u. is unlikely to change its stance towards kosovo 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 the commission said that casa 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 system is asian all one sided in the civil war in that war aided and abetted from outside how do those who are leading lights of the e.u. go back home there is their previous mistakes how can they say we will ever be
4:20 pm
prepared to say we were wrong we created a fake state based on if it goes through everybody in it we gave it to national. stream is 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 if as we see here is the most immoral the run constructs that has ever existed in the last hundred years i think clearly the base is to terry's away from the rest of serbia has gone has been turned from a sense of religious faith and christianity into a gangster's fiefdom of of the most highness and abysmal crimes that would make dr mengele a shudder so really that that's the reality and that is what they've been closing their eyes to that's what nato created and the buck stops there to turn twenty minutes past the russian capital i'll be back with our top stories for you in ten minutes from now but meanwhile r.t.
4:21 pm
talks to iran's envoy to the international atomic energy agency. you characterize sanctions imposed on your country as illegal is there any proof of that on your feet how the. heart of that is. based on the four pieces of evidence announced in vienna i mean the team that the reason they posed the national sanctions on us is illegal i ask international lawyers to contact me if
4:22 pm
i'm wrong because i'm proof number one they impose sanctions not comply with cost on the seat of the i.a.e.a. charter international inspectors have visited the reactors and none of them said there were an inconsistency more inspections were performed with three european state life i am still u.k. and germany with this system so the usa put pressure on the i.a.e.a. and report was given to the security council that's out of accord with the decision of the i.a.e.a. has charged at a secondly a report as presented to the i.a.e.a. management team in place there is evidence of changing of the nuclear program for military purposes but in reports presented by the agency over the past eight years there was always a free i stayed on that note proof of their nuclear program for surround military aims has been detected thirdly if a state does not let inspectors on to its territory and their reactors territory or
4:23 pm
interferes with their work the issue as you would for the security council like a was of north or. well it's a different situation with iran and iran and specters did their job and agency director confirmed this but did not truthful and last three and the decision of sanctions prepared by three countries before it was sent to the year one there was a very important phrase discontinuation of uranium enrichment also voluntarily and not obligatory by law at so how can they say that we're going against the law will we stop to remember which one there is for contractors but they want us to stop their nuclear research. have it at the cottage because there were many reports about a virus found in the reactors and bullshit and it sounds to me how could it get into the computer system of iran's reactance how do you fix it alive and who did you blame saw me donny hostage bass of us that you know that they have been speaking a binary virus on our computer system for several years some invented viruses
4:24 pm
either find ways to resist and our computer system continues to work in or rhenium in richmond continues without any problems this fire is did not affect anything even the centrifuge in my canoes and which usually makes one thousand revolutions per second in the bush air power plant are france specialist from russia together with their rain and scientists control the process and have the system it's possible to the american and there's the realities are trying to stop or nuclear program they fail to do so by their means of sanctions and other china to do it with the help of biases or blame and those of terror actions and attempts on the lives of the scientists the entire world condemned it because everyone respects scientists for the world's wealth this only strengthens the determination of the rain and people are people carefully check on their rights for films and we continue to corporate with the i.a.e.a. . in iraq what about the tehran react you need you kill to continue working with this power plant what are the details of this reactors operation which you are
4:25 pm
allowed to share and adopt my dad all that the muscle. that act on it. is for the chronic our planet which was built by the americans before the revolution back then i mean before the revolution i work for the i am not here agreement and i knew fuel production was signed back then but unfortunately the us did not allowed to correspondent company to pass just fuel to us i'll go away already paid over two hundred million dollars for it to did not give us the fuel or return the money twenty years ago i was iran's representative in the i.a.e.a. and i as the director general of there were going to say sure to ask other countries to help us get the fuel but none of them agreed at that time argentina analysis that it had succeeded in uranium enrichment on its own we signed an agreement i never sensed that a crown a reactor and i'm working on arrangements and i am fuel received with the i he has a system in two thousand and nine we submit an application and ask for fuel in the
4:26 pm
negotiations with russia france and the u.s. we agreed and we see on the fuel but they put forward the conditions that apart from when you were to give them a low enriched uranium and the equivalent of the sun and so we worked under the supervision of the i.d.f. and with the fears that russia would give just not to friends in order to chance for not entirely clear fuel bars but they did not agree to that before the sign on there that if the contrary we had to enrich uranium up to twenty percent on our own fortunately right now we have forty kilos of highly enriched uranium and looking for nuclear fuel of ours but i sat down my words were misinterpreted and some reports i don't keep we produce nuclear fuel on our own talks will be useless time flies by fast so before it's too late let's gather the negotiations stand with us provide us with the fuel for the it's a chronic reactor which is designed for medical humanitarian purposes it is designed to cheat one million cancer patients this fact is to be
4:27 pm
a stimulus to russia america and france to show their political will. for tox i mean the bases of the to cons agreement but had to consciously deal is still on the table. if i thought i would or future of the iranian nuclear program do you see what's around to do and the end all they got in place value chain is that i thought if you know that we want that the countries which committed a historic mistake then involve the year one and that will admit to this fact we demand that they should stop talks on north as soon as possible so there will be able to continue corporation. we hope that our friends including russia will assist freezing the talks and will not let us take the prisoner the hope that they will listen to our allies or a new moon from confrontation sanctions to construct a for precision of compliance with the use of us.
