alleged crimes were committed. with news from russia and around the world this is here in moscow 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 present dmitri 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 and left around one hundred eighty injured explosion which took place in the international arrivals area is russia's worst terrorist atrocity since twin bombings rocked moscow's metro system last march of one hundred people caught up in the airport blast to being treated in hospitals across the capital i spoke to our correspondents at one of those hospitals on either bennett at domodedovo airport. neither president nor prime

minister minced their words today both president medvedev and prime minister putin issue to 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 national. our society and our state in general has once again been brutally challenged i think this is clear to everybody present in this room it is equally clear that we need to do everything for the perpetrators of this crime to be identified and brought to justice and the hideouts of those bandits should be exterminated as usual we should deal unceremoniously with those who resist they should be killed on the spot following that prime minister putin issued a equally strongly worded statement some powerful rhetoric of his own suring 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 for them and opponents cruel and senseless crimes committed at dawn we did have an airport many people were killed and 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 at a pointed the finger squarely in 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 a 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 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 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 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 now 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 accomplice is 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 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 has assigned 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 there 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 them to retrieve terrifically to. to 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 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 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. i go 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 relative

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. people on a hospital in moscow before bennett at domodedovo airport when auntie sarah five has caught up with two pritish passengers who passed through the arrivals hall a matter of minutes before the blast. we passed through the immigration customs we were passing through the area where we were driving without letting our bags into

the back of the back 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. and which point which point of this news came off the deter building of his because it's a very pretty four seconds after you came running out of the building distressed. but what we did see was the whole thing we did we were coming out of the terminal at the time just after the blast. we were off the water through a number of people who came out and one guy was particularly badly injured two out of these places times he said he was he was in a pretty bad way i think you would you have heard of these kids what. kind of people coming out. the deadly blast in moscow's main

airport has sparked international condemnation and once again drawn the world's attention to the problem of global terrorism spoke to russia's ambassador to the u.n. to tell the trick and he gave me his view of what we have felt and seen here in the united nations is an overwhelming expression of condolences sympathy and support for russia after this terrorist attack at 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 in one form or establishes the context it more clearly shows that the terrorist manifestations in russia are a part of this general challenge of international terrorism so. 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 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 defense expert magnus ranstorp says that the security services need to employ different detection methods. it's a very soft target it's a high priority target as well for for terrorist because it is the main hub of

course the k'nex russia with with the rest of the world so i think that it is interesting that there were warnings beforehand and whether they are true or not we have to see on the other hand it's a very difficult area to to secure entirely there has been a lot of discussion not just in russia but also elsewhere that their security is becoming too predictable that the x. ray machines are not very effective possibly one of the more innovative ways is of course to disport behavior to have a 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 and perhaps lead to early interventions 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 and i

think this is also a time to forge closer cooperation for example between russia and other countries in 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 they lead to to to terrorism being a symptom of problems. and they will be bringing you more from moscow is done with that have fought in the hours ahead here on r.t. and you can get all the details about the blast in a website that's all t don't come all the latest video eyewitness reports expert opinion and much more is available for you at home. but i i.

the news no russians no 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 its own interpretations of correspondence going to can often moscow and 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 ensuring moscow's right. of the deal if it feels threatened by u.s. . and europe and the second one. similar statements previously by the u.s. congress do not free 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 but this latest one is mentioned to reduce the number of officers you go into on each side one on one 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. should be the leaders of both countries that supported this deal it's highly unlikely that there will be any problems with its implementation here in russia we know that president obama has 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 we quire international cooperation of course talked about the blast at the moscow airport about being together in this fight against terror where there was regards to the start treaty seen as a very important part of that being together basically as the milestone of the u.s. washer we said he was an administration has been working very hard to get it passed

through the senate. 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 on the way over the next seven ten years both countries will cut their nuclear arsenals by a third down to some fifteen hundred and fifty warheads on each side 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 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 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. kingston reef director of the center for rome's control and nonproliferation in washington says the treaty boosts transparency and trust between the two nuclear superpower. the treaty it's so all

overwhelmingly in the national security interests of both the us 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 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 it will not even have the technology to do so even if it wanted to within the actual life of the treaty 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. after a day of discussions members of the council of europe have adopted the organ trafficking report presented by the swiss human rights investigated. council members of call for a serious inquiry into allegations that the kosovo liberation army would kidnapping serbs and selling their organs on the black market all these countries are of has a 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 blots of its mine and that was it i never saw him again the sunni 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 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 center 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 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 being planned out. casualties are r.t. switzerland. from the british for peace thinks despite the criticism that is unlikely to change its stance towards closer. 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 bad into commission said that course it wasn't entitle 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 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 has ation of one side in that 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 will they ever be prepared to say we were wrong we created a fake state based on if it goes through everybody known albanian 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 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. let's take a look now at some other stories making the news throughout the world and first egypt where at least three died off the thousands of pro-democracy demonstrators took to the streets demanding the resignation of the country's president police used tear gas and water cannon to disperse protesters but remain wary of an escalation similar to that in europe and the rallies were planned against a backdrop of growing anger over food shortages and unemployment in health of egyptians live below the international poverty line earning less than two u.s. dollars a day. as the last five count of that have been appointed lebanon's new prime minister giving the militant party powerful political leverage is met with fierce opposition. where demonstrators burned tires and attacked vehicles belonging to

media. the protesters accuse his beloved by many as an iranian proxy of staging a q the u.s. has voiced its displeasure over events and threaten to withdraw its support for the country. brings us now to twenty two minutes past the hour here in the russian capital i'll be back with the top stories in about eight minutes from now meanwhile 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 opposed the national sanctions on us is illegal i ask international lawyers to correct me if i'm wrong because in 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 not of accord with the decision of the i.a.e.a. has charged at any secondly a report is presented to the i.a.e.a.

management team in case there is evidence of change of the nuclear program for military purposes but in reports presented by the agency over the past eight years there was always afraid i stayed on that no proof of their burn nuclear program pursue a military aims has been detected thirdly if a state does not let inspectors on to its territory and their reactors territory or interferes with their work the issue is you would pay the security council. like a war zone with north korea where it's a different situation with iran and iran and specters did their job and agency director confirmed this but does not truthful and lastly 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 and so how can they say that we're going against the law will we stop to remember china there is fond reactor 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 that time anyhow could get into the computer system of iran's reactance how did you fix it and have and who did you blame saw me donny hostage passive us that you know that they have been speaking a binary virus in their computer system for several years some invented viruses either find ways to resist them our computer system continues to work in or rhenium in richmond continues without any problems but this wire is did not affect anything even the centrifuge my commision which easily makes one thousand revolutions per second in the bush era power plant are france specialist from russia together with their rain and scientists control the process and have the system it's possible to very merrick and there's the realities are trying to stop or nuclear program they fail to do so by the means of sanctions and other china to do it with the help of viruses or by man is of terror actions and attempts on the lives of the scientists

the entire world countdown that because everyone respects scientists for the world's wealth this only strengthens the determination of the iranian people our people carefully check on their rights fulfillments and we continue to cooperate with the i.a.e.a. . in our work what about the tehran react you need you kill to continue working with this power what are the details of this reactors operation which you are allowed to share and adopt. model that the muscle that acted to. destroy that's a chronic power plant 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 allow the correspondent company to pass this fuel to watch although we already paid over two hundred million dollars for it did not give us the fuel or return the money twenty years ago i was around representative and i 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 and now if that had succeeded in uranium enrichment on its own we signed an agreement i never sensed that to crown a reactor and on working on argentina on fuel received with the i.a.e.a. has ears assistant in two thousand and nine we submitted an application and asked for fuel in the 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 my need we were to give them a low enriched uranium in 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 france in order to transfer not entirely clear fuel bars but they did not agree to that before the sign on there that if the contract 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 provide us with the fuel for the to find a reactor which is designed for medical humanitarian purposes it is designed to cheat one million cancer patients this fact has to be a stimulus for russia america and france to. showed their political will for talks on the basis of the to cons agreement but that the contrary to is still on the table. if i thought i would future of the iranian nuclear program do you see what's around to do and the end. all be. you know it that we hope that the countries which committed a historic mistake then involve the year one that will admit to this fact we demand that they should stop talks in the north as soon as possible so there will be able to continue work rationing like the i.a.e.a.

we hope that our friends including russia will assist freezing the talks and will not let us take their eye prisoner a little but they will listen to our allies or a more neutral and confrontational and sanctions constructive for precision our compliance with the i love us. soccer team has been to the home straight to the land developed by cossacks in ancient times. now wattie goes to the center of russian defense production. with christianity in shamanism existed side by side for centuries. people in remote villages cut off from the basics really take for granted.
