present knowledge that of there at that meeting with the ministry of the interior on the federal security service really highlighting his priorities now for them for the federal security service who says the finding the culprits who did this is now their top priority that should be there absolutely first focus and once they found the people who were actually responsible for planning this attack should be brought to court and if any resistance is put up on the the nests as he called them all of the perpetrators of this attack should be rooted out and destroyed go right to the root and destroy these terrorists be the root of the problem as it were he also was talking about who is responsible for the security of this airport and of russian transport and he said those responsible for sins of purity of passengers and of transport hogs at the airport and elsewhere they have not followed the the laws and antiterrorism properly they had acted irresponsibly and they were partly to blame for this for this bar being able to get into the airport and they must clean up their act now and stop something like th

of the interior ministry and also the federal security service. happened yesterday and what it means for the security of of russia's transport systems and the pursuit of those responsible he came out with some clear priority of what should be focused on firstly the federal security service his top priority now is to find those responsible to bring them to court and if they're not going to come to court to as he put it eliminate them to find the nests the roots of the people who organize this attack and destroy them something this serious that should be the top priority of the federal security service he also looked at the security about how something like an attack such as what happened on the airport yesterday was able to happen and that concerns the security of the airports he said there were severe security breaches involved and that those responsible for security at the airport must be held responsible or not includes the management of the airport itself and he's currently waiting for proposals from the interiors to move to a ministry that may

immediately eradicated according to russia's president to be treatment if he's been meeting with federal security service officials the discussions follow the deadly blast at the country's largest one monday which killed thirty five and injured around one hundred eighty. of the blast there she is keeping across all the developments. yesterday it was a very quickly after the initial blast just after four thirty in the afternoon moscow time. but the russian president went straight to the airwaves to talk to the public to alleviate some concerns on the nerves today we're also hearing some more strong statements from concerning the attacks what else has he had to say. well the explosion. considered an attack on the state and the response to that will be those criminals being found and brought to justice and if they resist they will be exterminated so incredibly strong language there from president bader speaking to the interior ministry and the federal security service earlier today we can hear more from not me. society and our state in general has once again been brutally challenged i think this is clear to

body in existence and that provides some problems when it comes to cooperation between the federal security services the police and any other security service involved of course the only person who will be able to impose any of those levels on the governmental level will be the president of the russian federation parliamentarians insist that such a system is is harshly needed and this was in the absence of us it was such a system was one of the reasons why the talk of the domodedovo airport happened this is what they have to say. just look how much we needed this system in light of the damage of attack you know they're trying to find the culprits and they will find them and the culprits will be punished some have already been punished but what everyone is seeing is that there was no relevant information and now according to the we will have to ensure in this society both the threats facing. and of course the reason for such a statement is because there were there were some statements which were made earlier which said that the federal security service was in fact aware of the attacks which were bein

that the old body is the federal security federal security service the police and other. and other bodies will have to work together so for them for that it means that they have to come together and sort of create a unified structure not all the. cabinet ministers of russia will also have to come up with that plan in the next two weeks to increase security on the russians transport not doesn't mean just airports we're talking about the metros we're talking about the public transportation system trains basically everything and in fact to start that all the president instead of actually descended into that down world of russia's metro system yesterday to take a look at one of the central metro stations in the very heart of moscow to look at the security measures which are in place there and tile obviously those measures as some believe are not adequate enough so they will be adding more security checks. not just at the airports but also in the metro stations at the train stations basically increasing security overall so these are just some of the issues which will be a look

support for information provided by security services and the impression of control of a system of intelligence. what was done by vladimir putin was he made a federal security service and he allowed parts of the kgb for some wall a significant part of the communication agency and even when vladimir putin adopted secret service for example, he allowed them to get more power and a department responsible for intentions abroad. so now if you are talking about functions, at the same time, there is no mechanism to control the service. the problem is it is not comparable to a family of 5 by the british because it is not to moscow but the structure of every russian agent who had special department arrangement and to control all these people. it is a quite striking faint. they love to talk about the longest chief of the kgb who became chief of the russian state. he is a kind of hero. never a trained kgb agent. he was an official and sent for the activity of the kgb. >> let me ask a follow-up. did this begin with putin or did it begin sooner? >> it began in the 1990s. for example, the department's in 1995 and the union responsible for 1998, was long before p

something else had to be done so the russian transport officials and russian police as well as federal security services will have to implement some sort of further security says. not just at moscow's and russia's airports but basically all sorts of public transportation systems. the train stations in the metros basically everywhere where people are transporting themselves to and fro places all over the country so these are just some of the aspects which will be a looks. today. you know why do we know about the investigation and. well of this point you know what we have is the. investigative committee which is sort of centrally keeping mum about the whole investigation except for thursday they came out with a statement criticizing the media for going into a frenzy over possible. speculations of who may have committed the heinous terrorist act at the daunted of airports and how the investigation is going now the latest of those speculations is the is a source which came to the russian press and said that it is possible that the bomb which was used by this suicide terrorist was containing lots of lots of

measures to be increased and i think the natural reaction of the airport security than all the federal security services and agencies will be to increase security measures at airports of russia boards international and domestic alike that's what i think. and i think that o'sullivan if you are a security expert you know it's it's what started off as quite a smaller story earlier on we were originally reporting possibly two dead and possibly twenty injured now we're hearing that the invested a committee says this is a terror attack thirty one killed one hundred and thirty injured you talk about the possibility of of coordinated explosions here but whatever the case at the end of the day this is a very serious a time to this is on a large scale. what it is and what really what really scares what's really scary is a lot of. right incidentally is that there might be such a coordinated attack on the social infrastructure and as i like i said in august we already saw. that the cherished cherry stack takes what was changed and what we saw that they are now targeting the object all of the energy infrastructure o

whole affair is he to do a request to turn pows relevant procedures and cooperation of the federal security service to them to make sure you know gordon's for instance the security legislation that he used to make sure that all investigative action she should listen to the are taken and as far as the investigation is concerned. when it has tabulation investigation committee used. to carry out all required actions immediately on site in the food chain you know you look at the moment you. must. have ordered the maid the mayor of moscow and the governor of the moscow district movement to head to domodedovo. you could. and we need to make sure that all actions are carried out. through and wants to obtain as much information as possible and try to investigate the incident without delay. the conditions that the speech should be the best and of course from the security point of view and points of view of security in the airports and and on other transport obstacles and the need to pay very close attention to that complex because we have. a whole number of other. of laws conditions and regulations on the t

are we were not talking just about these we're also talking about a census from russia's federal security service and there are there were some special floors task on hand from the federal security service we're talking about minister of emergencies representatives sniffer dogs all sorts of all sorts of security measures that you can possibly think of were in place at the airport now it was just a couple hours ago and of course there's still of course there's still some tension in the air there as hundreds of police officers still enhanced security measures at the airport of course are unprecedented there are a long queues of the very at the at the entrances of the two main entrances to the airport people are being checked for really very thoroughly literally anything that could be suspicious is now being of course taken. the taking out of the bags right at the entrance to the airport we're not even talking about boarding the planes we're talking about entrance to the building itself course this is a situation that's on the ground here there are still vehicles emergency vehicles arriving we see t

place literally hundreds and hundreds of police officers and the security officers from federal security service are also on hand we out we have seen sniffer dogs obviously they were still investigators were still looking whether or not there could be any explosives left over in that building at this point it has been at this point they say that it rather say there is no sense of that if that is the first thing that we noticed don't we arrive at the airport of course there's a lot of tension in the areas you can imagine but people were rather operating in a rather orderly fashion and there it i have to mention of their. entrance to the airport where usually there were not but a business point. but we started checking everything that's coming in there looking . all the bags right at the entrance to the airport at anything that looks like a model or a blow dryer or anything go in between is also being looked at in that see that people are opening their bags right there in the entrance so as i have said the security measures are unprecedented at this point we also saw. dozens up emergency vehicles.

also here in the center of moscow i'm pretty close to the kremlin now in the head of the federal security service there's a visibly heightened police presence on the streets here. it is reminiscent of the increased police presence after the moscow metro bombings which only happened under under a year ago and so the atmosphere of would it be vigilance really a lot of increased vigilance now from the security services. tom botton talking to me a little earlier from the center of moscow when at least sixty people have been taken to hospitals across the russian capital many of them are in a critical condition going to be that side of. life that you've got what do we know about those who have been lost. all the numbers are quite striking i might saw it might say because out of the sixty people around sixty people which have been hospitalized half of them is thought to be in critical condition in total it's thought that at least a hundred and sixty people were injured in this attack and of course at least thirty five people who lost their lives in this blast the injured were dispersed that hospitals ac

everything also of course there with their worst of reports that is a matter of fact the federal security service was aware of the fact that some terrorists activities planned in moscow and was coming from one of the members of the security of the security committee of the federation council just today we were told died so that some of the terrorist acts that are planned were averted but still that all security failed to provide complete and total security to the russian people especially to those unfortunate ones who were arriving at the dome and out of at airports on monday afternoon so also of course there will be there will be further repercussions for the police authorities and also possibly for the authorities of the domodedovo airport. reporting that i will discuss the latest terror attack on russia with matthew clemons a terrorism expert drains to find life for us in london so typically airport security is will focus on people bringing bombs onto a plane but here we have a different approach where we are talking with ground based targeting people in the arrivals terminal wishing the chang

blame solely to the management even though it is a private enterprise after all we have the federal security service the internal affairs ministry and the mta terrorist committee there. you know i talk to disagree i don't think that the airport management is to blame here. travel all over the world or not concede at the end of his perhaps the safest in the world in terms of security at least if you get this impression when you see all those canneries in the number of police officers if the year before it's the safest except perhaps for it. in fact i had a chance to see israeli security agencies at work last year is that when i was flying in they interviewed me for an hour and as i was flying out for two hours i almost missed my flight of course to some extent perhaps this was my fault because i provoked them a little on purpose because i was curious to see them at work still the point is that it is not appropriate to blame the airport management in fact i kind of feel sorrier for that more than general functions well but they were unfortunate to have one accident after another if you remember it was

several of officers from the special security force off the rushes the security service the federal security service qualify they're actually heading towards the arrival area which caused by the way have been cordoned off that journalist or those who are usually those who are welcoming people into their port they have been pushed back into the main a building and basically everybody but those arriving have been everybody but those who are arriving have been banned from a zero is a section there is a a large number of officials there's a very large number of security officers of course there are cordoned police the police groups everywhere out as far as planes coming and going is but at this moment looks like planes actually are on handed out so they will get about is a working to accept the arrivals like a lever arm and i was i'm looking at the flight schedule here looks like some of the departing flights first were delayed just until about five minutes ago and now looks like those planes which are flying out around eight o'clock in the. all of these flies are being counseled and actually ha

high level and the third five will be color coded red and it will be critical level also federal security service has proposed that a certain unified governmental body be created in order to act where that when and if any of these terror levels will be imposed on the country just look how much we needed this system in light of the damage of attack you know they're trying to find the culprits and they will find them and the culprits will be punished some have already been punished but what everyone is seeing is that there was no relevant information and now according to the we will have to inform the society both the threats facing the russian government has allocated more than one hundred twenty million rubles to help the families of the victims and the wounded some of that money will go towards the funerals which are being held today in moscow and in the moscow region and of course a lot of that money will also go towards treatment of the wounded horse who are still in hospitals more than one hundred people remain hospitalized and are being treated for their wounds which they received in the ter

automobiles everything also of course there were there were several ports as a matter of fact the federal security service was aware of the fact that some terrorists activities planned in moscow and it was coming from one of the members of the security of the security committee of the situation council just today we were told died to some of the terrorist acts those war plans were averted but still that all security failed to provide complete and total security to the russian people especially to those unfortunate ones who were arriving at the airport on monday afternoon so also of course there will be there will be further repercussions for the police authorities and also possibly for the authorities of the domodedovo airport for saying that they are not responsible for any possible security. at this facility right now things are really going to put their life in domodedovo airport the scene of monday's blast thank you. defense expert magnus ranstorp says that the security services need to employ more varied detection methods to prevent such tragedies it's a very soft target it's a high priority target a

was immense police presence there were sniffer dogs there were were presented itself the federal security service on the spot but people also investigating whether or not there were any additional explosives possibly in the building and of course immediately talk began about the breach of security at the dollar airports russia's president to vet if his show has shown me that he's incredibly unhappy with the way the security services and the police have dealt with this situation as in they allowed it to happen and they were ready for officials from the interior minister who have been fired just today and russian president said that this will continue as before security gets better now more on what transpired following the tragic blast on monday afternoon here's michael vick sara first with the details. the harrowing scenes from the moment the blast hits for those who witnessed the attack it's a memory that wayne's fate fust came running. for shortest was. absent from. the blast hits at peak time is around thirty flights who cheats who lands the bomb at st time to cool max and then devastation i'm

best to to told the situation of course there was immense police presence officers from federal security service were here a sniffer dogs were here. and authorities were looking for possible traces of any other explosives which could have been left in the building of course there were none found and immediately of course the question arose who is responsible who allowed this to happen we're not talking just about the terrorists the people in question of course are the security services the airport security the police whoever allowed this to happen in president of puzzle ready to act for high ranking police officials both of them. working in the structure of transport safety for their inability to prevent such an attack and i see a promise that further attack and further. further of repercussions will follow and of course what transpired after the monday's a terror plot to attack here is more from michael weeks are the first. the harrowing scenes from the moment the blast hits for those who witnessed the attack it's a memory that waits fade fondest. there was an explosion. or clay. was. absent fr

have to come together and implement a unified plan of action now at this point as russia's federal security service has said there's no unified plan of action and they're actually have proposed a creation of a separate governmental body which will be responsible for carrying out all of these. all of the actions which have to be implemented in case of a and according to lurk an alert level and now the problem in terence have stressed time and again time and time again that the measures which have which will be implemented in case of a terrorism of a terrorist danger will not affect the rights and freedoms of ordinary citizens citizens in all we have to deal with the security services so these are the aspects which will be looked at odds to day i had the most go state duma by the problem in terence in the first three days. brittany let's talk now about the investigation of the. so have there been any new revelations of the deadly terror attack. well at this point the investigative committee is keeping mum they haven't really said anything except for it yesterday the they did come out with one stateme

the attack and who was responsible not followed a meeting he had with the federal security service and what preventative measures can now be in place to make sure this doesn't happen again he said the first aim now is obviously to find out who is responsible for this attack and bring them to justice and should. well we apologize for having some technical difficulties with our correspondent. who we can now across over to peter all of. its talk about when it comes to the people who are at the hospital and the injuries there. with you in just a moment. we know that one hundred eighty people injured the severe shrapnel injuries talk to me about how the victims are doing what's the what's the state of the moment. of the one hundred eighty people who were injured in this blast around eighty four of them actually eighty four when exactly are still remaining in the hospital receiving treatment now we're hearing that about half of those people still receiving treatment are in a condition described as are the serious or critical by medical staff here at the hospitals well i've mentioned presiden

also has been information from the member of the security committee of the federation council who said that as a matter of fact federal security service he knew about the terror attacks that were being prepared and in fact has been acting on them and alone most of most of the groups who were planning terrorist attacks in moscow shopping effort handed early or earlier or rather later earlier this year and unfortunately not all of them could have been prevented like the terrorist act which happened here at the domodedovo airport on monday so no security services are not to blame and the firings in the transport department will continue and we should probably expect some or if you don't want to have us authorities as well who insist by the way that they are not responsible for the security breaches which may have been in place which led to the horrible tragic terrorist attacks here on monday afternoon. or even thanks very much indeed for the subway you go there from the medina airport. and the international community has collectively can down the terror attack in moscow and the western media has come up with its own conclusions but many

also here in the center of moscow i'm pretty close to the kremlin our in the head of the federal security service this is visibly heightened police presence on the streets here it is reminiscent of the increased police presence after the moscow metro bombings which only happened under under a year ago and so the atmosphere of what it be vigilance really a lot of increased vigilance now from the security services. made a london based expert on terrorism in conflict resolution tells r.t. there are similarities between this attack and others carried out by terrorists from russia's restive north caucasus region. well obviously the first impression is that this is. similar to others that have taken place in moscow in recent years and the all indications are that this is part of the insurgency going on in the north caucasus so unless we hear evidence of. other suspects i think it's natural to suspect that it's people from the involved in the insurgency the north caucasus that are behind it we must keep in mind. the insurgency in the north caucuses. now has connections with other terrorist groups in the

also here in the center of moscow i'm pretty close to the kremlin our in the head of the federal security service there's a visible heightened police presence on the streets here it is reminiscent of the increased police presence after the moscow metro bombings which only happened under under a year ago and so the atmosphere of what it be vigilance really a lot of increased vigilance now from the security services police are currently working to identify the suspected suicide bomber behind monday's attack security has been stepped up across the capital russia's anti terror committee says the situation at the airport and across moscow is under control. but as the probable genius or even or as soon as we received information about the explosion police officers federal security experts and emergency teams went to the airport we're taking every measure to prevent any such incidents in other public places in accordance with the presidential order we've tightened security at all transportation hubs in moscow we are considering various motives but the most likely one is an act of terror of the national

also here in the center of moscow i'm pretty close to the kremlin now in the head of the federal security service there's a visibly heightened police presence on the streets here it is reminiscent of the increased police presence after the moscow metro bombings which only happened under under a year ago and so the atmosphere of what it be vigilance really a lot of increased vigilance now from the security services told botan in central moscow thanks for the update more from you later well earlier i spoke to our correspondent sara firth she's in moscow's second busiest airport asked about the security measures taken there although the incident didn't of course occur at that airport but what sort of impact has the incident dead of a had on. taking going to the check in and having your luggage checked us taking a lot longer now as a measures have been stepped up you've also seen the troll stuff around the airport grounds with dogs so it is nature's way you can see we've spoken to the security staff and they said that they've got the highest security level in place now all the stuff from high alert t

where is the federal security service. where is the district attorney? where are the courts. i believe this is the failure of the entire law enforcement system. what were the regional authorities doing? they did not see anything? it is an important red flag that went up. another red flag for society to shake off the dust and the authority to shake off the dust at all levels and to closer attention to what is happening in the region. i came under a lot of criticism for changing the procedure under which governors are appointed and sworn in in regions of the federation. the reasons for changing the procedure for bringing governors to power was exactly to present -- to prevent criminal entities from capturing the states. unfortunately, in these conditions and the conditions where we do not have an effective civil society, the direct election situation behind every candidate was criminal entities. they sometimes succeeded in influencing the outcome of the election campaign and its results. now that the president is now making a candidate to the governor and the governor is voted
