same participator doctors are trashing president invaded found in no uncertain terms that they responsible will be held accountable. and our society and our state in general has once again been brutally challenged we need to do everything for the perpetrators of this crime to be identified and brought to justice we should deal unceremoniously with those who resist they should be killed on the spot. as many people are now left fighting for their lives in hospitals around mosque a people have rarely seen eighteen blood and ensuring the victims and their families receive all the help they need as investigators now work to establish exactly who is behind the attack the finger of blame his own safely only at ports and transport authorities as you can imagine security measures have now been stepped up this mess of the take his was always mandatory. now they are and there are serious questions being asked. being implemented seen punishments for what the

president has security breaches could be just around the corner some feel that when it comes to terrorism the main weapon is the refusal to be intimidated. but people come too late and act remembrances and respect. the deadly blast at moscow's main airport sparked an international condemnation and once again drew the world's attention to the problem of global terrorism earlier we spoke with russia's ambassador to the un vitaly churkin. well what we have felt and seen here in the united nations is an overwhelming expression of condolences sympathy and support to russia after the 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
10:05 pm
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 more clearly shows that of the terrorist 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 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 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
10:06 pm
usual from conducting a 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 the security services need to employ more very 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 security is becoming too predictable that the x. ray machines are not very effective possibly one of the more innovative ways is of
10:07 pm
course to to support 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 it relation to intelligence exchange in relation to working together to try to not only deal with the tactical intelligence issues but also to try to find ways to mediate some of these conflicts the lead to to to terrorism being a symptom of problems the bloody scenes adama dead of all have parallels with

a brutal computer game it controversially involves a character who kills civilians at an imaginary moscow airport artie's lauren lyster looks at how fare to see may have become reality a terrorist attack kills dozens of innocent people in creates chaos at a moscow airport fact. or fiction it's the scenario being played out here in this popular american video game sold worldwide call of duty modern warfare two does no russian in this mission the player goes on a terrorist rampage hoping to massacre civilians in a fictitious moscow airport it may have seemed too gruesome and tragic to become troops were it not for the very real events seen here at the dome of judge of the airport more than thirty people have been killed more than one hundred eighty injured in what investigators believe was a terrorist attack tars a video game version
10:09 pm
a lot more people have been involved in this violent video game was released in november of two thousand and nine by the american company activision and in just a few months sales had surpassed one billion dollars now even for people that didn't download the game just a simple you tube search where you type in no russian can reveal that segment right here this one has eight hundred seventy thousand views and with so many people seemingly downloading playing or watching this game you have to consider whether or not anybody ever thought that this game could so closely resemble reality the issue is we need to know if terrorists or extremists are using these videos or these d.v.d.'s with these games to basically applaud the model is a way in which you know entertainment mirrors reality and reality mirrors entertainment and there are people who are influenced by all of this even though the manufacturers always deny that it has any influence on anyone your range of

public figures came out condemning be attacked but so far no one is coming out questioning justification for a virtual version lauren mr r.t. new york. remember you can find all the latest up to date information about the tragedy at domodedovo at our website r t dot com along with all the latest video i would miss reports expert opinion and analysis all there are dot com. turning to the day's other news russia's lower house of parliament has ratified the new russia u.s. strategic arms reduction treaty the debate over the deal ended tuesday with russia having added its own interpretations our correspondents a group is going off in moscow and guide each chickie on washington we're following developments. they're called special statements because they will not affect the
10:11 pm
actual implementation of the treaty itself the first one is ensuring moscow's right . off the deal if it feels threatened by us. and europe and the second one. similar statements previously by the us congress do not free you are shipped in from its obligation no 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 one each side going on one issued so it's a giant step in terms of what has been global security know that it's been ratified by the state duma according to the procedure it will have to be passed to by the federation council and then signed by the president of the students in this should be the leaders of those countries that supported this deal it's highly unlikely
10:12 pm
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 with regards to the start treaty is seen as a very important part of that being together basically as the milestone of the u.s. washer we set the wall my 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 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
10:13 pm
limits the number of delivery vehicles on 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 in 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 kingston raef director of the center for arms control and nonproliferation in washington says the treaty boost transparency and trust between the two nuclear superpowers. the treaty is is so overwhelming only in the national security interests of both the u.s. and russia because of the predictability transparency and stability that the provisions of 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 tree but the russians have been very clear from the
10:14 pm
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 it 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 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 investigator dick marty council members have called for an inquiry into allegations that the kosovo liberation army was kidnapping serbs and selling their organs on the black market
10:15 pm
or he's carrying those are of a house a story without a trace that's how the silence brother disappeared along with thousands of other people told him if he went to work as usual with his friends to the blots of it's 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 reaper it 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 a 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
10:16 pm
a state of the art reception sense for the organized crime of trafficking it was styled as a makeshift operates in clinic and it was the site 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 and. the cost 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 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
10:17 pm
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 with the nasal walls damage control is already being planned out. cash as our r.t.e. switzerland. marco gases from the british serbian 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 bad into commission said that casa wasn't entitle to independence recognizing it or the majority of its members recognizing the independence of fake state. just a few
10:18 pm
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 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'll ever be prepared to say we were wrong we created a fake state based on if that goes with everybody not 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. take a look now at some other stories making headlines across the globe. u.s.

10:23 pm
will we stop to remember each time that there is far contrary actors. but they want us to stop their nuclear research and have it. there were many reports about a virus found in the reactors and bullshit and it sounds funny how could it get into the computer system of iran's reactance how did you fix it and have and who did you blame saw me dani hostage bass of us that you know that they have been speaking about her virus and her computer system for several years some invented virus or some other find ways to resist on our computer system continues to work in a real human richmond continues without any problems the swire is did not affect anything even the centrifuge my commision which usually makes one thousand revolutions per second in the bush era power plants are france specialist from russia together with their rain young scientists control the process and have the system it's possible to do americans and there's a rare weezer trying to stop or nuclear program they failed to do so by their means of sanctions and now they're trying to do it with the help of by isis or by
10:24 pm
a man as of terror actions and the times in the lives of the scientists the entire world going down that because everyone respects scientists for the world's wealth this only strengthens the determination of the rain yet people are people carefully check on their rights fulfillment and we continue to corporate with the i.a.e.a. . in our what about the turn around react you need you kill to continue working with this power plant what are the details of this reactors operation which you are allowed to share and adopt model that the muscle that act on it. is for the to 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 new fuel production was signed back then but unfortunately the us did not allow the correspondent company to pass this fuel to us although we already paid over two hundred million dollars for it the did not give us the fuel or return the money twenty years ago i was
10:25 pm
a ron's representative and you know i. and i asked the director general are very going to station to ask other countries to help us get the fuel but none of them agreed at that time argentina analysis that 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 argentina and fuel received with the i see as a system in two thousand and nine we submit an application and ask for fuel in the negotiations with russia france and the us 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 their 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 it's a contract we had to enrich uranium up to twenty percent on our own fortunately now
10:26 pm
we have forty kilos of highly enriched uranium and looking for nuclear fuel bars but i sat down my words were misinterpreted and some reports i don't kid 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 there to chronic reactor which is designed for medical humanitarian purposes it is designed to cheat one million cancer patients this fact is to be a stimulus for russia america and france to show their political will for talks i have bases of that the cons agreement but that the contrary is still on the table. if i thought i was the future of the iranian nuclear program do you see what's around to do and the end all they got in touch via cain is that i thought if you know it that we hope that the countries which committed a historic mistake then involve the un and that will admit to this fact we demand that they should stop talks in the north as soon as possible so that we'll be able
