peter power a u.k. based crisis management specialist from vi's or consultants told told me earlier that keeping things moving following a terrorist attack is essential. the first thing to realize that it won't be just moscow airport where tightening up you know about twenty million passengers flying through that airport which actually is a lot less than say heathrow but nonetheless it's a major hump of that part of the world but other question i've already heard in the last few minutes is was that the real target could something have happened here with a bomb exploded on route to somewhere else for example if a bomb detonated in the air in very near any airport you're going to show it to a wide area it could be detonated by a mobile phone providing it's at a low level so there's a chance that the target might have been somewhere else this is the first attack in moscow since march of last year where two female suicide bombers blew themselves up and if you give way back to two thousand and four again two

for we are moscow bureau chief of the christian science monitor there am peter power u.k. based crisis management specialist told r.t. that following a terrorist attack it's essential to keep things moving. one of the rules we're dealing with terrorism in the twenty first century is not to stop everything if you can possibly keep things going to judgement of moscow airport making some flights well that's the core you have to remember that terrorism doesn't actually rely on the bank they were lies on the fear of the bank and so yes we've got a catastrophe and by the sound of it many deaths but overall actually you are probably a lot more likely to be hit by lightning than ever be to be killed by a terrorist bomb it is just a random nature of terrorism so if we can carry on business as usual as quickly as we can that's my point about a lot of people affected beyond this but the issue is gather that intelligence that's most important to make sure your security is as good as it reason we can be and remember we're talking about weapons of mass effect here not weapons of mass de

popular i know france is one of the biggest nuclear powers for for civilian use in the world is that the path we need to really pursue that's right peter you're absolutely right i think we should open our eyes that in just fifty years we have burnt the oil of that nature took a hundred million years to fabricate but when it took us fifty years to burn the first half it will take us a lot less to burn the second half. and the resources are limited now if you look at the example of france we have a country here that does eighty percent of its electricity with clean nuclear energy and it's perfectly safe so we have a solution for the world after all today we're absolutely addicted on oil this is not reasonable we need to find another solution as an environmentalist of course i am very much in favor of energy conservation and renewables but when you look at the figures it just doesn't match the numbers it's not a solution that's up to the need and we should be very careful that we are running into a major energy crisis nothing is even started yet compared to what we will be seeing and we were very lucky today to enjoy warm homes plenty for

discourse of officialdom in this city where you and i live, peter, is very different than the discourse as people. the discourse of people in power seems to be one that -- number one ignores international law. you know, we hear over and over again, the issue of settlements -- we heard it for a while from president obama, settlements are wrong and there should be a settlement freeze. well, first of all, that was insufficient because they're not just wrong. they are illegal. the israeli answer which gets then accepted and has now been accepted by the u.s. is settlements are one of of a number of issues that should be decided by negotiations. well, i wouldn't think you need to negotiate violations of the law. when a robber steals a car, you don't have to negotiate with the robber over what are the terms on which you might return that car? you take the car back and give it to the rightful owners. now, as it turns out, several people in obama's own party believes that. i was stunned by that. one of the most recent polls -- it was during last year's sort of -- the u.s. and israel fighting over settlements which i should say not a real
