washing windows. and running away as fast as they. backed away trying to spot a long unfolding man the my baby in my hand suddenly i fall flat on my back i see a thousand people rushing towards me i thought flashes through my mind i'm going to be killed in the stampede trip.

is a really nice lower crowded into the gym as if we were cattle man for the slaughter house was sacked wherever we could some on the floor others on the bench as senior pros were told just as a fun trip wires from the sailing. day realize what was going on. the decline arms were in that ring. there was one in the middle and smaller ones on each side. the hostages were instructed to stay on the ground more than a thousand people sat on the floor of the gym with bombs suspended over their heads the terrorists demanded complete silence the hostages were not to shout cry or talk . is still the kids so crying we were told how to learned this is where we were then made believe or a hard thing they came to see who was helping and who wasn't there seven machine guns were always at the ready but that had no effect the kids were crying as loudly

as before. a witness that all the men were to get out of the room i took one and they never came back. and then were taken to a room on the second floor. there they were shot and thrown from the window. but they are not easy to get on girls out of the gym and rape them i mean these were very young girls what would possess someone to do something that while. one of the boys came up to a terrorist and gave him five roubles had to live i give you money and he led my mother go he said when the terrorist responded of them we've got loads of money go back to your place. the terrorists spoke to each other in the chechen language on the first day they made no demands. the hog of my daughter in law said to my son to

mark do take that jacket off it's too stuffy here you soon as we get out of here i'll buy you several jackets tomorrow said no it's a present from my mom. the terrorists announced their demands on me towards evening of the second day. they said in a note to russian troops must leave the chechen republic which was then and still is part of the russian federation and. i hope somebody would turn the cloak but. somebody would kill the terrorists and set us free. time was it a standstill for the fathers and mothers of the children they never left the scene hoping they'd soon see their kids again. for two days and nights their children had been bullied and. they'd been deprived of food and deprived of water it.

down on the first day we felt we'd be able to leave the place soon but then we'd go to a shop to buy some drinks and as soon as we got. in the. school building after the terrorist attack i had a bottle of water with me i always keep a bottle of water on my bedside table and i keep the light turned on because i cannot sleep in the dark. children eat flowers they brought for their teachers to mark the start of a new school year they drank urine to quench their thirst then made them even thirsty or. the only available source of water was trickling out of the tap in the toilets some of the children were occasionally allowed to go there.

sponge themselves don was tory's soaked in water thirst was too much of a torture for some of the children. toys and clothes. people still bring bottles filled with water to the gym they do it every day they always leave the bottles open to make it easier for the young angels to drink. the mass of people they gathered outside broke down on the third day. expected our kids to be released there's no doubt in our minds that they would be harmed the thought that they could be harmed would never entered our heads. i was pretty scared when i heard the sound of an explosion overhead but at the

moment i could breathe more freely the blast had ripped open the roof it is allowing some air into the gym besides many of the people had stopped breathing. the. indiscriminate gunfire panic stricken adults. get older that so she is alive. stained children wearing nothing but underwear rushing out of the gym. some of them were shot in the back. they go down two or three bottles of water but couldn't force searched. was that when i opened my eyes after the blast i saw the girl sitting next to me but my son wasn't anywhere near me i started looking for him all over the place good god i thought could he be dead.

comment about the first thing i saw after the blast one was a lightbulb hanging on the ceiling. everything a runway. turned black i just went to look for my mother. i approached a boy lying on the floor blood was losing out of his had he looked very much like my son and i couldn't bring myself to come closer and said to a woman who was near me take a look because it's my comic. and fortunately for natalia the dead boy's name was not to model on the telly his son had survived the blast and so had her two daughters might hear him one stylist go on christina. to tell you is unable to walk her left arm is almost motionless she was injured before the main blast by a fragment from a grenade that exploded in the hands of one of the terrorists defragment remains

stuck in her head for two days as she sat in the gym trying to comfort her three children doctors say natalia still has a chance of recovering from her injuries but it requires a long rehabilitation process and much money she's only thirty five years old. my dream is to be in a special forces it was such officers that saved us. i want to get revenge on. the twins london lotteries escaped death due to their mother's heroism she threw them out of the window right after the gym blast she also saved several other children and thankfully managed to survive the ordeal herself. to you this is me and my dad.

these pictures were made by allah but tug of a son to mourn the hope to become an artist though most of his painting showed landscapes for some inexplicable reason he made an about turn in the summer of two thousand and four. i would bet though what's on the schedule and this picture shortly before the tragedy it shows an explosion and as you can see one of the school children was going to wards the building they didn't but while the other one was thrown up into the air he would. it was our to blois drew this picture. it shows a school a gym helicopters a fire a crowd of people on the island says and firefighters the wait was at that school. i was down and when i first saw it. this is zero

destroyed why didn't the eleven year old boy draw a picture of a school in this context we will never know because our died in the terrorist attack. the most horrific part of it all came when the fire had been extinguished and the terrorists have been killed. parents millions searching for their children . i went through a terrible experience each time i saw an ambulance pulling up in front of the school. i never even looked at the first down below and says they were heading to the more. as soon as that answer one of the wards are in the butt demetre shouts to me i've seen the guy i say to him where is she to me or i come to find her to which she

says i saw her in the general. there were keys to our apartment in his pockets when they compared them with my own case it became clear that the boy was to more. i still can't the case under the pillow and i go to bed. one in three hostages died in that fire i spent three days who come from i don't know him on those dead bodies before i found hers. many others spend several months there.

was the word so when i went out of the house i saw the coffin and i was so glad that i had found her. i put my arms around the coffin as if embracing it as if trying to help other as a bring it here. i'm not sure i can accurately describe my emotions but i think i was glad and by the fact that they had found her. time has not healed many wounds for these people the simple fact is over the years these ascensions have learned to live with their pain children are no longer afraid of going to school and adults have reconciled themselves with the thought that letting them go to school is not dangerous.

should mean no avoids june of us. today he prefers playing music to playing sports . he lost his best friend in the terrorist attack of two thousand and four and since then he's met nobody they can replace him. well mostly and now i take things easier. i would say. six percent of what happened six years ago it has evaporated from my mind and we would. all much is left a mere ninety four years. this year and yet his second daughter made in the will start school. and the time

of the terrorist attack she was just a year old at one point the terrorists allowed mothers and their babies to leave the gym. and you to came out with million in her arms. her elder daughter in law had to stay behind not long after she was killed. you know how many memories my little here it's over there. in russia is it. each sunday and yet ten million a visit the ruins of the school to them the place is like a church they come here to pray.

we thought all people would be like saints after what happened. and they would all understand that everything was perishable. they would realize there was only one thing worth living for and taking care of. but that never happened. in the knows exactly what she's supposed to do in the gym she picks up empty bottles lights candles and puts flowers in order seem to it that her mother doesn't cry. but there's harry's white now but she's promised to does it when i go to school for the first time it will be my first there will be three reasons to celebrate mother with their hair and my birthday and now we'll start school. rita lost her only daughter in the attack the past years have not helped ease her pain you know prefers to put

her thoughts on paper rather than speaking aloud. of moments and nothing but if i think i knew what i'm designed for it's flower was the first and most treasured flower what that helped me understand my fate has perished . and doesn't keep a diary she often spends time re reading those of her younger daughter emma emma had hoped to work in the fashion business she's left behind many lyrical verses and funny stories we never know whether the world lost a great writer or dancer. that.

we're going out so good when we get together at the cemetery pushchair our collections have our kids. sometimes you women laugh so at the best there is by must think it odd that people laugh over the graves of their children and indeed sometimes with phil rather uncomfortable. but we can't help recalling some final episodes from their lives. today many see the town of angel cemetery as a holy place these graves are kept ideally. the marble always looks spic and span the photos never fade. there's not a single dry flower and the ribbons on the graves mean that particular boy or girl would have finished school this year. that she was my guards there is

a sense we live in an entirely different world. first clapping then that was like having your head in the cats but now the situation is quite different and life is different. so slow in that he said now have a brother and a sister their mother and father have decided they must have many children the more the merrier so slung has decided that he'll be a policeman when he grows up and larissa is still in two minds about what she hopes to do when she's older. to terrorist attack on beslan school number one claimed three hundred thirty five lives including one hundred eighty six children. all of their photos are shown here. they kind of look um artists musicians economists or doctors or just simply mothers and fathers of

a new generation. in a recent survey people in beslan were asked whether they wanted to have the ruins of the school left as they were or torn down altogether liz assumed they found looking at the landmarks in human flu every day a traumatic experience. and yet it was decided not to tear down the school instead it will stand as a reminder of the atrocity and not just for the citizens of business line. it will be forever a reminder to the whole world that should never forget what happened on that day. i scripted our saying to wish evil people as for good people i wish there would be it that way. and there was this world to busy to fall as a law theirs and even more beautiful. then

china's plans to step up their military exchanges has the west wary as the world's two largest on these united that that sort of boozed influence in the region. the you assholes training of the bulk of i'm going to see this is after a spike in deadly inside the times as nature admits negligence and choose to the vetting process has led to recruits turning that guns on them and. and then you know what i mean to protect kids in russia from home for t.v. content faces criticism boy it's a big us language that threatens to deprive children of programs and cartoons of great cultural value.

this is coming to you live from moscow hello and welcome to the program the world's two largest armies are looking to step up joint military interests as india rolled out of the red carpet for the chinese defense minister there rather is it from beijing's military chief to the neighboring countries aimed at pushing for greater unity between the emerging superpowers as well as ramping out that influence in the region however ties between the two asian giants are already causing concerns across the pacific. explained. this is a historic trip for india as the chinese defense minister hasn't visited this country in nearly a decade and the top priority for the list of things to discuss on this trip are strengthening the india china border and promoting a stronger cooperation between the two countries armed forces many people believe that india and china because they have two of the fastest growing economies in the

world should be rivals but a lot of analysts i've spoken with have actually said that a partnership between the neighbors actually makes more sense with forty per cent of the world's population and at a time when these two countries' economies are growing while many of the traditional western powers their economies are decreasing many people say that a partnership between india and china could actually be detrimental to a country like the united states the united states actually exports eight point four billion dollars of arms to india every year and india is actually the number one importer in the entire world many people say the united states is interested in india to counterbalance china's growing influence in this region and to have a strategic ally here when the united states plans to withdraw its troops from afghanistan twenty fourteen so while other countries might have an interest in

what kind of relationship india and china has all signs are pointing to stronger military and economic ties between the two countries. who. profess the school of international studies. there are university professors saying welcome to the program how concerned do think the u.s. is with the growth of units who between china and do you do it. in short john i. think you will in short order i think you know did students has normal use and dilution should been shown in the given the fed that india has a more plausible lucian sure but united states including defense for what ocean but it lucian ship in the long run of course if the gender of positive relationship between china and india and didn't was merely human because this would be unusual or concerned probably my distance but

a lot of them are dutch country do you think india is more interested in economically and politically the us or china. it's not an easy choice what are you going to tell me their choice of course keep it all being all the time this india's economic relationship is far more global student chinese and its defense quote would have. with the united states so i think that our choices that countries keep making all the time doesn't have necessarily a long term kind of commitment to either of the blue states. so what do you think the u.s. will carry out of the growing corporation between delhi and. i'm sure the united states is. generally youngster visit and it would really nor watch these school militaries blend together things on the table are

simply. good cooperation there to those the student in the award really audience. from all of them. the job really who falls in the defense force is with relationship it didn't go to china so it's not going to have a new fresh new initiatives but believe me or she is still some cooperation and going to sizes. etc if you will to exist before it will call them favor the united states yes and what can the u.s. do to counter that corporation between china and india. but my again and again is that at this stage it seems in a board last seven years india has already signed a defense to go on to the united states what a billion dollars plus in their good future coming aboard next ten years in coming because you don't think that allusion to dump of different solution to india

is very glaus you audience did towards united states would win does not mean the rules are that options we are all thought india is also densely engaging you all have been going to believe some extent difference called pollution initiatives which i know only meant to build mutual trust and understanding and it's normally at all that you're coming together against any third party which seems to be. by agreement don't you not edible it means programming one day right as the u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton recently vives that america would remain active in the south pacific for the long haul that some of the region was big enough for a rising china so do you think washington is willing to share the region with china but i'm sure in india we normally disclose. as everybody's in the world saw united states is a global quadrille and it has. lost a lot except that it is shifting its.
